The Scorpio is a fun twist on the classic daiquiri cocktail. The cocktail drops the traditional citrus component in lieu of a citric acid cordial. It will still be bright, slightly sweet, and balanced; however, it will be completely clear and mysterious at first glance. We will spritz the finished cocktail with a touch of absinthe to add yet another layer of complexity to the mystery. The goal here is to create a mystical experience where guests will see what looks seemingly like a martini, smell like a sazerac, and drink like a daiquiri.
