Rum Blaze (Motley Mixology version)
- A flaming cocktail.
Ingredients
- 1 oz over proof rum.
- Cinnamon in shaker.
- 3/4 oz Grand Marnier.
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice.
- 1 large cube of ice.
- 1 more large cube of ice or just ice.
- Several oz of Elderflower tonic.
- 1 mint sprig for garnish.
Glassware
- Snifter Glass. Tempered glass. Should have a rim the right size to just hold up a large cube of ice. Glass should be fire tolerant (tempered) so that the heat does not shatter the glass.
Construction
- Speed is important. There's fire!
- A fire extinguisher or fire blanket should be nearby.
- Set down glass someplace safe.
- Add rum to glass.
- Set rum on fire.
- Sprinkle some cinnamon over the flames for effect.
- Add Grand Marnier.
- Add lime juice.
- Fire should still be burning.
- Set large cube of ice on top of glass. It should be just a little too big to fall into the glass.
- Swirl glass to make the water vapor falling from the ice visible.
- Ice should melt enough after a bit so that it falls into the glass. This should extinguish the fire.
- Top off glass with more ice.
- Top off drink with Elderflower tonic.
- Garnish with lime wedge.
