Ace, the recipes I used for the Luau Scorpion and Vic individual serving came from the Total Tiki app. Kelbo's recipe is also listed and calls for passion fruit syrup which is why I decided to tweak the other two with the addition of that. Kelbo also uses a dark Jamaican rather than a silver or gold Puerto Rican so I'm anxious to try that one next.

Sounds good, thanks Mike. This makes me want to look up the history and pedigree of the scorpion and volcano bowls in the app and in the books. Truly these are quite different across the board out there, obviously I will have to follow in your footsteps and try some more variations. (Cheap booze leads to higher profits, and I'm sure that's what a lot of today's restaurants do, excepting of course the true tiki establishments.) The last bowl I made was not impressive, and I followed the recipe exactly. So I can see why you would tweak things. A nice thing about that is when you land on a winner, it's YOURS to call your own and serve to friends.
