Steps:

• In a punch bowl or pitcher, combine the amaro, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Working one by one, hold the lemon peels by their long edges with the peel facing down into the bowl. Pinch the peel to express the citrus oils and drop the peel into the bowl. Serve in ice-filled punch or lowball glasses and top each drink with sparkling water just before serving.

SCORPION BOWL

Steps:

• In a blender, working in batches if necessary, combine the rum, lemon juice, orange juice, orgeat, Cognac and gin. Add the ice, then cover and blend at high speed until the ice is broken into small pieces, 5 to 10 seconds.
• Pour into a scorpion bowl, tiki bowl or small punch bowl. Garnish as desired. (If using a scorpion bowl with a volcano, this would be the time to light your flaming lime shell, if desired, taking care to keep garnishes out of the flame's reach. Snuff out any lingering flames before Step 3.)
• Serve immediately, with straws.
