Scorpio Moon Smash
Energies: Creativity, Lust, Money, Power, Purification
Call down that spicy, powerful, and truth-seeking Scorpio moon energy with this whiskey, minty twist on the Dark n’ Stormy. The moon in Scorpio can be a time of spice, sensuality, and finances but also a time of deep, internal reflection and transformation. Using Scorpio and Moon-associated blackberry for lust and abundance, ginger for power and inner truth, and the power and hint of spice of Bennett Bitter’s Scorpion bitters, infused with an actual scorpion (let me tell you – can FEEL the energy), this concoction is aligned for power, money, and purification. Rounded out with some clarity-inspiring mint, uplifting triple sec to elevate the concoction, and garnished with a flaming lemon peel garnish that calls to the other of the phoenix side of Scorpio imagery – this concoction is a refreshing mix to imbibe under the Scorprio moon.
