People always want bread and circuses. The very process of preparing such extreme drinks is fascinating and delights all observers, though entertainment is mainly dependent on the skill level of the bartender.
A striking characteristic of fire cocktails is their strength, which is why they are mostly popular among males. The beautiful half of humanity is also not averse to watching such "performances", because burning alcoholic cocktails is a whole art.
10. Fiery cold
The first association that comes to mind at the sight of this cocktail is a burning iceberg. Well, or "song of ice and flame." The composition of the drink includes gin, liquor Jägermeister and Limoncello. There are two options for preparing “fire ice”: in the first case, all components are poured in layers, starting with Limoncello, and in the second case, the sequence is unimportant - the three types of alcohol are simply mixed in a shaker. But one thing remains unchanged: before use, the cocktail must be set on fire.
9. Burning Huntsman
At first glance, dark beer and Jägermeister liquor do not seem to be the most traditional and, frankly, not the best combination. But in certain circles it is a classic. Such a composition is found in many cocktail cards. In combination with "Huntsman" beer acquires a noble coniferous aftertaste. The specificity of the cocktail lies in its preparation: the ingredients are not mixed in advance - a stack with burning liquor is lowered into a beer-filled mug.
8. Cherry Nipples (Slippery Nipple)
Perhaps the most “female” cocktail of our rating. Liquor Beilis gives the drink a pronounced sweetness that will appeal to beautiful ladies. In addition, the composition of the drink includes Sambuca (in proportions of 50 to 50 with Beilis). Ingredients are poured into the stack in layers, starting with Sambuca. Traditionally, a cocktail is decorated on top with a large drop of cherry syrup, which, passing through a layer of creamy liquor, resembles a ripe cherry.
7. Area 51
The basis of this cocktail is the famous Japanese melon liqueur Midori. It gives the drink not only a rich spicy aroma and taste, but also a beautiful light green hue. The recipe is very simple: light rum and Jägermeister liqueur are poured into a stack with Midori.
6. The chariot of fire
Sambuca and vodka - it would seem that with such a composition it is impossible to make a mistake and do something wrong. But the preparation of this cocktail requires special care: it is necessary to pour vodka into sambuca so carefully that the layers do not mix. Otherwise, the entire flavor of the drink disappears. The ingredients are taken in a ratio of 50 to 50 (25 grams each).
5. Green 52 (Mexican)
Green variation of the famous shot B-52. The color of the drink is provided by everyone's favorite green absinthe. In addition to it, there are Baileys and Kalois liquor in the composition. The ingredients are poured in layers: starting with Kalua, ending with absinthe. However, the order of adding liquors is not important. It is recommended to drink a cocktail through a straw, but you can blow out the fire and quickly drink it in one gulp.
4. The bomb
The name of this cocktail is not taken "from the ceiling", but is quite justified and deserved. Its concept becomes clear upon completion of the preparation of the drink. First of all, light beer is poured into a large glass, into which a glass of tequila is placed with forceps, and then the syrup “Blue Curacao” and the “Strawberry” and “Cointreau” liqueurs are poured into the glass. But there is a more extreme version of making a cocktail: first, liqueurs are poured into the beer, and at the end a burning pile with Blue Curacao is tipped over in it. In the glass, everything begins to hiss and explode. Not a cocktail, but a real show.
3. B-52
The most popular burning shot in the whole world. It can be found on the menu of almost every club, bar and restaurant. It's all about the vivid combination of the sweet creamy coffee liquor with the fresh orange hint that Cointreau gives. B-52 is also poured in layers, starting with the most thoroughbred - coffee, ending with the freshest - orange liquor. The mediator between these two extremes is the creamy Beilis.
2. Sambuca
The most concise drink of our rating. It consists of only sambuca (well, coffee beans in the bite). But everything is not as simple as it seems. Correctly setting fire and drinking sambuca is a whole art. This will require one glass, one glass and a straw. And also a video tutorial on cooking Sambuca. Remember to gnaw the coffee beans at the very end.
1. Absinthe
First you need to set fire to absinthe ice. Then put a piece of sugar on a special spoon and hold it over burning alcohol. Sugar begins to melt and drip into a glass, crystallizing at its bottom. When the number of round brown crystals fills the remaining fifth of the glass, remove the spoon with sugar. Make a cocktail roll.
Blow out the flame and immediately, lowering the tube into the glass, without breaking off, drink the entire liquid contents of the glass through it with several quick, quick sips, be sure to let it through the entire tongue in order to get a deeper taste. If everything is done quickly and correctly, a sharp transition from burning ice-cold absinthe at the bottom to unbearably hot on the surface, accompanied by a pleasant sweetish aftertaste, will become one of the most unforgettable sensations that you will want to experience again and again.
Undoubtedly, burning cocktails are an exciting and aesthetic sight. But the first and most important thing to always remember is safety. No wonder there is an expression "Do you like drinking absinthe - love to wear wigs."
