Savage Scorpions

Savage Scorpions get their scorpions from China and Thailand. Scorpions in other countries are often times enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike. While we use Scorpions more in shots and craft cocktails, in China and Thailand, they are commonly eaten and are a staple in some diets. Tourists that are brave enough to eat them find out that they aren’t so bad after all. If you thought taking a scorpion shot was savage, they eat their scorpions on a stick, similar to a kabob.   Thailand Many people eat scorpions off a kabob-like stick.

Both tequila and mezcal are made by distilling the agave plant. Mezcal can be made from a blend of over one of 250 types of the cactus-like succulents. But in order to be classified as tequila, it must be at least 51% blue agave. Better yet, the higher the percentage of blue agave, the finer the bottl...
