Ingredients
- Grenadine½ oz
- Green Crème de Menthe¼ oz
- Overproof Rum½ oz
- Galliano½ oz
Instructions
In a 2 oz shot glass, pour grenadine as the bottom layer.
Slowly layer Galliano on top by pouring it over the back of a bar spoon.
Mix equal parts crème de menthe and Bacardi 151—this helps it float instead of sinking.
Carefully layer the mint-rum mix over the Galliano.
Top with a final layer of Bacardi 151, leaving a bit of space at the top.
Light the top layer to ignite the flame.
To drink: blow out the flame before sipping, or use a straw to drink quickly while it's still lit.
Caution: Bacardi 151 is highly flammable—use extreme care with open flames and never attempt while intoxicated.
