*Red hot poker mixing: Choose a clean, thick rod and let it sit in the fire until it is red hot. Shake off any ashes and slowly put it into the finished drink, being careful not to touch the rod to the bottom of the glass or it will shatter. This is great for camping and the same hot-poker method can be used for caramelizing dark beers.
