Interesting shooter I saw today on FoodTV

Post by Canelek »

Check this out, seems pretty good:

1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Creme de Banana
1 lime wedge atop each shotglass, lightly coated in sugar

Line shot glasses up and pour Sambuka(grossly misspelled) around glasses...ignite

The flame will gently caramelize sugar on the limes to give it a sweeter taste.

Down glass, suck lime...

I must try this!

Sounds like too much work for a shot.

Hardly a shot, more of a decorative finish to a good meal... still seemed pretty cool! I think the point of it was for a kickass dinner party with flare...

I guess I'm too much the amaretto nut to bother w/ anything else after dinner. Well, that and the occasional godiva on the rocks

I wanna say it's Sambuca that you're looking for..


http://www.efd.lth.se/~d94tn/sambuca.html

Ways to drink sambuca:

1. The boring way
Dilute it with water. Makes a pleasant long drink (or so they tell me).

2. The traditional way
You pop two coffee beans in your mouth, chew them, set the shot on fire, put it out and drink it. This is the way described on the bottle, and supposedly the "right" way.

3. The cool way
You take the sambuca into your mouth, but don't swallow. Wipe your lips so that none of the sambuca is on your lips. Tilt your head back, and open you mouth, and have your friend light a match, a light the sambuca in your mouth. Wait until you can feel it burning, (it's not as dangerous as it sounds) and then close you mouth. Shake it around and then swallow. This is of course the way my friends and I do it, and it always attracts peoples attention. Try it out at your local, dimly lit pub, impress you friends at the party and have fun.

The good thing about Sambuca is that it combines three good things into one. You get drunk, have fun and get to set things on fire. Cool!

when you say "around" glasses, what do you mean precisely?

It sounds really fab
