Flaming Lamborghini

Flaming Dr. Pepper

3/4 shot Amaretto
1/4 shot of 151 rum
1/2 glass of beer

Fill the shot glass about ¾ full with amaretto and top it off with enough 151 proof rum to make it burn. Put the shot glass in a pint glass or beer mug and fill the glass with beer (right up to the level of the shot glass). Light the amaretto/151 and let it burn awhile. Blow it out and slam it. Tastes just like Dr. Pepper. [Recipe courtesy of Drink’s Mixer Drinks Mixer]

Flaming B-52

1/3 shot Kahlua
1/3 shot Irish Cream
1/3 shot Grand Marnier or Cointreau
A couple of drops of 151 rum

Fill a shot glass 1/3 full of Kahlua. Then layer the Irish Cream on top by pouring it onto the back of the spoon that is held against the rim of the shot glass. Layer the Grand Marnier the exact same way. Then add a drop or two of 151 and light it! You can consume by blowing out the shot or sucking it down with a long straw. [Recipe courtesy of About.com]

Here is a great video on how to make this shot.

Bailey’s Comet

1 + 1/2 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
1+ 1/2 oz Butterscotch Schnapps
3/4 oz Goldschlager
1 tbsp 151 Rum
1 dash Cinnamon

Shake the Bailey‘s, butterscotch schnapps, and Goldschlager with ice in a co*cktail shaker and strain into a co*cktail glass. Put a shallow layer of 151-proof rum on top. Light the rum on fire, then immediately sprinkle a generous dash of cinnamon on top. The cinnamon will sparkle and flame. Don’t let it burn too long, or the Bailey’s will curdle! Prepare for a hangover. [Recipe courtesy of Drink Nation]

Backdraft

Warning: This shot is intense. Just take a look at Jim Bo taking one .

1 + 1/2 oz Cointreau
1 + 1/2 oz Sambuca
Few shakes of Cinnamon
Ice Cubes

Here’s one that is as complicated as Queimada (Galicia’s fiery drink ritual).

Place a saucer down on a table or bar. Put a shot glass filled with Sambuca in the middle of the saucer. Grab a pint glass and pour a shot or so of Cointreau into the glass. Light the Cointreau and swirl the glass until the sides are warm. Pour the lit Cointreau into the shot glass, igniting the Sambuca and spilling the flaming mixture onto the saucer. While swirling the pint glass over the flames to capture the alcohol vapor, shake some cinnamon from a safe distance on to the drink and then cover the shot glass with the pint glass.

Blow out the flames and then take the pint glass off of the saucer. Quickly drop in a few ice cubes into the glass and immediately seal in the alcohol vapor in with your palm. Shake the glass vigorously a few times and have the consumer stick a straw through your fingers and suck in all the vapor. Then the straw should be used to take down the shot and clean the saucer. All of this should be done as quickly and safely as possible for full effect. [Recipe courtesy of Wikipedia .]
