the scorpion drank a double absinthe bloody
I didn’t know him, but I knew I someday would. After all, he would be my boss. I assumed from his somber character that he was of Scorpion descent, and as it turns out I was right. Later, I’d come to find he was a double Scorpio, none the less… but for now, the boy standing before me appeared chilly and potentially snobby. our conversation lasted less than a minute, but in that time I was intimidated and interested. His few words were soft and careful in their delivery—and they were also genuinely helpful. all though the Scorpion tried to speak them in a easy manner, there was nothing off handed about them. I casually asked, so what is your birthday? He was surprisingly open with his answer, November 3rd why? muttering that he’d learned more about astrology in the last three days then he’d learned in his whole life. (Our new boss was an avid believer in the zodiac and apparently I wasn’t the only one curious about his sign). I answered, no reason, smirking to myself for being dead on. A wave of sweet relief washed over me as I realized he wasn’t uptight, stuffy or a snob. merely aloof, and reserved, as a proper double scorpio should be.
absinthe and horseradish are jointly ruled by mars, and hence this fab brunch fave is a scorpio. the double use of the two martian ingredients make it so apropros for the double scorpio. (keep in mind, scorpio is jointly ruled by mars and pluto).
DOUBLE SCORPIO:
1/4 oz absinthe
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 dash kosher salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash Tabasco
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp. horseradish
Dash fresh squeezed clear citrus (lemon or lime)fill glass with ice and add ingredients, then top with tomatoe juice. stir and garnish with anything green, in honor of the green fairy~
