Ingredients
Method
- Combine all ingredients in a large scorpion bowl or punch bowl. Add crushed ice and stir well. Garnish elaborately with tropical fruits and flowers. Serve with long straws (serves 4).
Pro Tips
- Use fresh citrus juice - bottled juice lacks the bright acidity and aromatic oils
- Stir gently for 30-40 seconds to properly chill and dilute without over-aerating
- Serve immediately after preparation for optimal temperature and presentation
- Part of the Tiki cocktail tradition - balance of rum, citrus, and exotic flavors is key
