Preparation
- Step 1
Place a piece of lemon peel in each of two teacups or small, heavy glasses.
- Step 2
To prevent house fires, pour some water into a baking sheet over which you will make blue blazers.
- Step 3
Dim lights. Have ready two one-pint mugs, ideally metal with a flared lip. Pour sugar and 3 ounces of boiling water into one mug and then add Scotch. Ignite alcohol with a long match and pour about half the liquid into empty mug, then pour that back into the first mug. Repeat four or five times. Proceed quickly but with great caution.
- Step 4
Pour flaming drink into teacups or glasses and cover with mug to extinguish flames.
It is imperative to practice this drink with water, and no fire, before attempting the combustible version.
