Cradles of Life
A variation on the classic "Scorpion" bowl made famous at the Kon-Tiki in Tuscon, Arizona. Karin "Cobra" Stanley's very own blend of silver and spiced rums, fresh citrus, house-made orgeat, and Angostura bitters is regally garnished with an inverted lime wedge and blessed with a dollop of Green Chartreuse. This is what happens when you play with fire.
