Ingredient substitutions

No exact bottle on the shelf? These swaps keep Flaming Jamaican Shot close to the original.

• Instead of Grenadine

  • Raspberry Syrup— berry-forward, same blush

• Instead of Green Crème de Menthe

  • White Crème de Menthe— same mint, no green color

• Instead of Overproof Rum

  • Dark Rum— milder — the drink loses some kick

• Instead of Galliano

  • Yellow Chartreuse— more herbaceous

Instructions

1. 1

   In a 2 oz shot glass, pour grenadine as the bottom layer.

2. 2

   Slowly layer Galliano on top by pouring it over the back of a bar spoon.

3. 3

   Mix equal parts crème de menthe and Bacardi 151—this helps it float instead of sinking.

4. 4

   Carefully layer the mint-rum mix over the Galliano.

5. 5

   Top with a final layer of Bacardi 151, leaving a bit of space at the top.

6. 6

   Light the top layer to ignite the flame.

7. 7

   To drink: blow out the flame before sipping, or use a straw to drink quickly while it's still lit.

8. 8

   Caution: Bacardi 151 is highly flammable—use extreme care with open flames and never attempt while intoxicated.
