The Kon Tiki has a fine happy hour--and many of the happy-hour drinkers seem to favor the Scorpion, which, according to the helpful and extensive drink menu, is the world's largest cocktail. Some patrons, in fact, find it too large. A Scorpion is a mix of light and dark rum, gin, brandy, liqueurs and tropical-fruit juices. This cocktail comes with options: If you want more fruit, you can order a Strawberry Scorpion, and if you want one for two people, you can get a double in a fishbowl with two long straws. But be careful: The Scorpion comes with the sting of a 100 mph fastball.
