10 More Drink Recipes You Can Light on Fire

Travel
by Kristin Conard Feb 25, 2011

THE BLUE FLAME of alcohol can add excitement to a party, particularly if that flame is intentional. The burning of the alcohol condenses and deepens the drink’s flavor, and it typically takes strong alcohol of at least 80 proof to burn.

It’s all about presentation, so turn the lights down low and get your flame on with 10 more drink recipes that you can light on fire.

Note: Use caution when lighting drinks on fire. Use long-handled lighters, make sure all liquor bottles are closed and away from the flame, etc. Put the drink out before you drink it or drink from a straw.

Spanish Coffee

Lime juice
Granulated sugar
1 oz 151 Rum
1 dash Triple Sec
1 ½ oz Kahlua
Coffee
Whipped cream
Nutmeg

Dip the rim of an 8 to 10 ounce glass in lime juice and then in sugar. Add the rum and Triple Sec. With a long match, carefully light the liqueurs, swirling the glass to melt the sugar on the rim. Pour in the Kahlua and then add the coffee. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Hot Fudge Sundae

¾ oz Irish Cream
¾ oz Butterscotch Schnapps
1 splash Whiskey

Add Irish cream and butterscotch schnapps to a shot glass and top with whiskey. Ignite drink, and extinguish flame after several seconds. Allow glass to cool, then serve.

Sunset Pousse Café

½ oz Grenadine
½ oz Coffee liqueur
½ oz Crème de banana
½ oz Irish cream
½ oz Brandy

Set a spoon in a quarter glass to make a ramp for the liquor. Start with the grenadine, then layer each ingredient in order by pouring it slowly onto the spoon, ending with the brandy. Pouring too fast and the layers will break. The brandy will burn, but it needs to heat up first. Sip slowly; this is not a shot.

1/3 oz 151 Rum

The Cockroach

1 ½ oz Tequila
1 oz Kahlúa

Pour the tequila and Kahlúa into a glass, and (optionally) set on fire with a lighter. If you light it, pop a straw in the glass and drink. Otherwise this can be enjoyed slowly, on its own or as an after dinner liqueur.

Flaming Blue

½ oz Anisette
½ oz Vermouth
1 splash 151 Rum

Mix into a shot glass, and splash the rum on the very top. Be careful not to mix it into the rest of the drink. Then carefully light the rum on fire with a match. Blow out the flame and drink it fast before the rim gets too hot.
