"All right, the drink we're about to make is called Scorpion. Sounds scary. Let's put some ice in a glass, and we're going to measure out a half an ounce of light rum, and follow that up with a half an ounce of dark rum and a half an ounce of brandy. Follow that up with some orgeat syrup; just a half an ounce, and a half an ounce of; I'm sorry, half an ounce of lime juice, so go ahead and just squeeze a couple of lime wedges in, and there we go. If you want you can just take some, if you have some lime juice in there you can add a little bit in instead of just squeezing it all. And we'll also add one ounce of orange juice and two dashes of sugar syrup. All right, let's give it a shake. You just want to make sure you get that syrup mixed in with everything else; there you go. And I've got a glass. You can serve this in a white wine glass if you want, but any glass will will work, all right. Add a straw, and don't let it sting you. Bottoms up!"
