TOPICS: drinking recipe

Tired of just asking the bartender for “the usual”? Take a step out of your comfort zone, as this fiery concoction rarely fails to please. Also, don’t let the name fool you, as this drink can be enjoyed year round.

Warning: This drink is lit before being served; the upper layer of schnapps allows this. When sprinkling cinnamon, a brief yet intense flame may shoot up from the shot glass. Be sure to let the drink simmer for a minute or two before drinking.

Ingredients:

1/2 oz coffee liqueur (Kahlua)

1/2 oz Irish cream (Bailey’s)

1/4 oz cinnamon Schnapps (Goldschlager)

dash of cinnamon

lighter

Directions:

1. Begin layering a shot glass by adding the coffee liqueur, Irish cream and cinnamon Schnapps in that order.

2. Carefully use the lighter to ignite the mixture.

3. Add a dash of cinnamon. This should excite the flame.

4. Let the drink burn for a minute or so to cool off.

I tried this, not as good as it sounds. Either the author is retarded or just has really bad taste in drinks.

DO NOT TRY!
