You or someone you know is very likely planning a 4th of July get-together soon. Today we've searched the internet for you to gather a few drinks that will be perfect for the celebration. Perfect, of course, once you add a Savage Scorpion to the ingredients list! 

The Firecracker
Watermelon, Lime, & Cucumber Cocktail
from Creative-Culinary.com. 

  • 4-oz cucumber vodka (If you don't have cucumber vodka, use plain vodka and simply add a couple of slices of cucumber before muddling.)
  • 4 (1-inch) cubes of seedless watermelon
  • 2 limes, diced
  • 2-oz simple syrup (Boil 1/4-cup water and sugar just until sugar dissolves, add 1/4-cup ice to cool, refrigerate leftovers)
1. Combine vodka, watermelon, and lime in a cocktail shaker. Muddle all ingredients well. Add simple syrup, fill with ice, and shake until ice cold.
2. Rim the glasses with a cut lime and dip in a mixture of salt, sugar, and freshly grated lime.
3. Fill the glasses with ice and strain the ingredients from the shaker into the glasses. 
4. Garnish with a watermelon slice, a cucumber slice, and a mint sprig. 

A perfectly placed Savage Scorpion will sit nicely on top of those garnishes until you are ready for him!

Blueberry Strawberry Mojito
  • 3-T fresh blueberries, plus additional for garnish
  • 2 fresh strawberries, diced, plus additional for garnish
  • 10-15 fresh mint leaves (a small handful), plus additional for garnish
  • 1/2 a medium lime, juiced (about 1-T fresh lime juice)
  • 1-t granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2-oz white rum
  • ice
  • club soda
1. Muddle the blueberries, strawberries, mint, lime juice, and sugar in the bottom of a tall serving glass. (A Collins glass is traditional,) until the sugar is dissolved and the berries break down. Add the rum and stir to combine.  
2. Fill the glass with ice, then top with club soda. Stir to combine, then garnish with additional mint leaves and berries as desired. Enjoy immediately. 

Just imagine how cool one of our Savage Scorpions will be hanging out in this glass among all of those lovely berries!

White Wine-Berry Sangria
  • 1 bottle dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1-cup lemon-lime soda
  • 1/2-cup raspberry vodka
  • 1/4-cup brandy
  • chopped strawberries
  • raspberries
  • blueberries
In a pitcher, combine wine, soda, vodka, and brandy. Put a few raspberries and a small handful of chopped strawberries into the bottom of each glass and muddle. Fill glass with ice, then top with sangria and a few blueberries. Stir.

You can add a Savage Scorpion to each glass before serving, or drop a few in the pitcher and see who the lucky recipients turn out to be! 


Shine Bright, Like a Firework
If you have a way to incorporate an ultra-violet light into your 4th of July party decorations, that will add even more excitement to the evening. Savage Scorpions glow naturally when placed under an ultra-violet light, giving you something bright and shiny to look at once the sun goes down and before the fireworks begin! 

From all of us at Savage Scorpions to all of you, have a happy and safe Independence Day. A holiday is a perfect excuse to get together with your family and friends to have some fun. Adding our creative cocktail garnish to the drinks that you'll be sharing takes it from a mere party to an exciting celebration! Enjoy!
