Savage Scorpions

June holds the title of National Iced Tea Month. A freshly brewed, tall glass of that sounds delicious and refreshing to all of us at Savage Scorpions , but there's another version that we think sounds even better. A tastier version that shares a similar name but has a much better kick. We're talking about Long Island Iced Teas! To "one up" that idea even more, make that drink savage by dropping in one of our fantastically creative cocktail garnishes. Now that sounds like the perfect drink to serve everyone at your next spring or summertime gathering.  You are probably already familiar with the classic version of this drink, but there are a lot of tasty recipes out there and each offers a slightly different take on the original.
