Shot Glass

Glass Guide- Shot Glass

This mix is supposed to take like Dr. Pepper and can be made a couple of different ways. It's common that the shot of liquor is lit aflame then dropped into a half glass of beer, but some will also make it by placing the shot glass filled with liquor into the larger glass, after which the beer is poured around the edges, just to the rim and the liquor is lit. Whichever way you choose to pour your Flaming Dr. Pepper, it's recommended you blow out the flame prior to consumption.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 shot amaretto
  • 1/4 shot 151 proof rum
  • beer

Preparation:

  1. Fill a shot glass 3/4 full with amaretto.
  2. Slowly float the overproof rum to fill the glass.
  3. Fill a pint glass with beer.
  4. Ignite the contents of the shot glass.
  5. Blow out the flame, drop the shot glass into the beer and drink in one gulp.

A good drink but be careful, Member NinjaMidget

Me and a couple friends were doing Flaming Dr. Pepper's one night, and we all had the worst hangovers from that drink. I didn't feel better for three days. It tastes great and it's a fun drink...but unless you love pain, I would limit consumption to one.
