Oh, this brings me back to my college days in metro Boston. The Top-Notch Volcano is a single-serving version of the (in)famous Scorpion Bowl. There’s nary a drink less suited for quarantine than a bowl of hooch, so proceed with caution! I had more than a few of these at the tongue-in-cheek Peking Tom’s near Prudential Tower, as well as the Hong Kong Restaurant in Harvard Square. My version uses Demerara pineapple syrup.
