Best Signature Cocktail

Scorpion

We don't care who you think you are, but you're not really a Tucsonan until you've puked your ever-loving guts out after drinking more than one Scorpion at Kon Tiki. They go down so smoothly--tasting of citrusy fruit punch, with a rum-flavored kick--that novice drinkers may be lulled into a false sense of security. One of these babies is enough to make you give up your car keys. Drink two or more, however, and--well, we figure the cocktail would be a good surgical numbing agent should anesthesia ever go out of style.
