We found some pretty cool stuff and decided to share it with you here in our blog.  First up, our favorite unique drink ingredient , the scorpion!  The Most Venomous Scorpions While Savage Scorpions are NOT dangerous to consume (they are quality processed and have their stingers removed) there are some scorpions in the wild that you definitely do not want to cross paths with.  For example, the most venomous scorpions currently alive are the fat-tailed scorpions.
