Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 blackberries
  • 2 leaves basil
  • 7 leaves mint
  • 4-6 drops/dashes Bennett Scorpion Bitters (forego for nonalcoholic version)
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup (equal parts sugar to water)
  • 1/2 ounce lemon
  • 1/2 ounce triple sec (forego for nonalcoholic version)
  • 1-1.5 ounces whiskey (forego for nonalcoholic version)
  • 1.5 ounces ginger beer
  • 1/2 ounce dark rum float (forego for nonalcoholic version)

Method
 

  1. Place blackberries, basil, mint, the Scorpion bitters, and simple syrup in bottom of a tall glass. Muddle, and pour in whiskey, lemon juice, triple sec, and ice. Pour in ginger beer and stir, and top with dark rum. Garnish with a flamed lemon peel for some more transformative fire, mint spring and Extra basil leaf.

Notes

Some other optional additions include: rosemary for lunar clarity and purification; 1/4-1/2 creme de violet in place of dark rum or in addition to, for some more Spring Scorpio Vibes for those in the Northern Hemisphere; fresh ginger if you are looking for some more forward spice; and nutmeg for more lunar scorpio abundance.
For nonalcoholic version, simply enjoy without the alcohol additions! Feel free to add some orange juice, or concoct a violet vanilla syrup for extra Scorpio Spring vibes!
