Except . . . the Tiki Tiki calls for ONE ounce of brandy for only TWO ounces of rum whereas the Scorpion Bowl calls for ONE ounce of brandy for SIX ounces of rum - and the original 1940's version used TEN ounces of rum to ONE ounce of brandy. So, with those ratios of brandy to rum in mind the Tiki Tiki is going to taste quite different from either of the Scorpion Bowls. Also, when I make the Tiki Tiki, I cut back on the Orgeat to only 1/2 oz. - more to my taste. However . . . feel free to re-name it the "Baby Scorpion" if you like.
