Flaming Homer

Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

I cannot say that I've ever had this drink, nor do I want to try it. However many people are curious about it. The key is to use a plain children's cough syrup, nothing too flavorful. Be careful when making any flaming drink and extinguish before drinking. I'd be curious to hear comments about it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz brandy
  • 1 oz peppermint schnapps
  • 1 oz sloe gin
  • 1 oz blackberry liqueur
  • 1 oz strawberry juice
  • cough syrup

Preparation:

  1. Pour all ingredients except the cough syrup in a highball glass.
  2. Stir.
  3. Add cough syrup.
  4. Ignite and extinguish before drinking.
