I've had good scorpion bowls at bars. Anyone have a recipe that knocks it out of the park? Or is this just the wrong Brandy?

had to google it, but you used a spanish brandy-- i would use a french, st. remy or raynal will do for mixing (or paul masson from usa). dunno anymore if my recipe is traced to a particular bar or whether its an almagam of everything out there but here's how i do it and it goes over well at parties:

2 oz white rum, 1 oz brandy, 1 oz gin, 1 oz white wine or Lillet blanc;
2 oz OJ, 1 oz lemon, 1 oz orgeat.

this serves two-- i shake it up with ice, and strain over ice in a communal glass/bowl.
