Savage Scorpions

Since scorpions can be found on every continent except for Antarctica, you might wonder exactly where our  Savage Scorpions  come from. We get our tasty and unique cocktail ingredients  from China and Thailand.  Scorpions in some countries are enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike.
