I think I have seen Scorpion variants with wine or aromatized/fortified wine but I've never made one. I go back and forth as to whether I prefer it with or without gin as it somehow seems to take over this cocktail. In stark contrast to so many cocktails where the gin plays so nice with the other ingredients. Drinking right now. . . Tambu Lounge Backscratcher, recipe courtesy of Hurricane Hayward's most recent Atomic Blog post. Used Bulleit as the bourbon float and it gives a nice little edge to this one.
