Scorpion Bowls aren't just for Waikiki Wally's anymore. Marc Forgione is now offering up a $49 alcoholic beverage that contains 11 ounces of alcohol, and a whole bunch of straws for sharing. As this type of novelty beverage should be, it's served in a punch bowl adorned with hula dancers and palm trees.
Sommelier and GM Matthew Conway and Bar Manager Cary Goldberg are the masterminds behind the "Marc Forgione Scorpion Bowl," and we're told it contains: Wodka Vodka, Bulldog Gin, Banks Rum, Sombra Mezcal, fresh lime juice, mango juice, house made pineapple syrup and fresh mint with a shot of Bacardi 151 in the center. After it's nicely stirred up it's poured over ice and garnished with "slapped Thai basil leaves."
For the sake of comparison, if Trader Vic's (previously seen on Mad Men) were still open, they'd be serving up one that (according to lore, cost up to 100 bucks) contained orange juice, lemon juice, orgeat syrup, light rum, brandy, and shaved ice.
