Savage Scorpions

With Labor Day falling on September 7 this year, we've almost made it to Labor Day Weekend! It's been an odd year so far, for sure, so a holiday weekend celebration sounds like a good excuse for a much-needed happy distraction.  Savage Scorpions pulled together a few interesting Labor Day drink recipes that fit this holiday weekend nicely. We've linked the full recipes after each description. The only thing you need to add on your own to take these cocktails from ordinary to extraordinary is a few of our gourmet edible scorpions as either a garnish or an added ingredient. It's not necessary, but it sure makes things a lot more interesting!  Sparkling Watermelon Punch from Liquor.com Holiday weekends often mean gathering with friends and family in the backyard.

All it takes is some beautifully colored cotton candy, a shot of marshmallow-flavored vodka, and some sparkling water. (Plain vodka might work just as well or a vanilla-flavored vodka. Experiment with it!)  The cotton candy is placed in the glass first and it dissolves in the most fantastic way when the liquid is poured...
