International Beer Day happens in August on the 7th, which got us all here at Savage Scorpions wondering which beers would pair best with our edible gourmet scorpions .

We've got another annual "holiday" coming up that is the perfect celebration to add a few Savage Scorpions to - National Tequila Day on July 24! While often enjoyed as a great scorpion shot , tequila is the main ingredient in quite a few popular cocktails as well. Here are a few we highly suggest giving a try.  Margaritas Most likely the first drink to come to mind when someone mentions tequila is a cold, refreshing, margarita.  These come in just about every flavor, color, and size imaginable. Our unique cocktail garnish looks great served on all of them!  A classic lime margarita is made of tequila, an orange liqueur (like triple sec,) and lime juice served either frozen or over ice in a glass with a salted rim. The addition of agave syrup can be made if you need a bit of sweetness added and some people choose to substitute sweet & sour mix in place of the fresh lime juice. Those ingredients will get you started, but with an internet search or suggestion...
