Scorpion Vodka, England

There seems to be no end of people pickling animals in alcohol and serving them as refreshing beverages, but whilst you’d expect scorpion vodka to come from Thailand or China, this brand is in fact produced and bottled in England, where a single ’farm raised’ scorpion is added to every bottle.

The website claims it’s ‘the ultimate shot’ and that by serving it, you will ‘impress your friends and everyone around you’. It also advises you serve it with a ‘scorpion garnish’. However, we suspect if you returned from the bar with a scorpion in place of a lemon slice, your date might make a sharp exit.
