The scorpion kick is a brilliant daiquiri riff from dan greenbaum at diamond reef, a bar & grill in new york city. Its rum-citrus-chocolate combo shows up in a few similar drinks, and we never get tired of it. Here, its bolstered by a big fistful of mint leaves, giving it a quality not unlike one of those melt-in-your-mouth after-dinner mints. Greenbaum recommends plantation 3 star, one of our go-to white rums (along with el dorado 3-year).
