Drink 135: BURN-IT-DOWN

Written By Patrice Anderson

Ingredients

  • 6 fresh blackberries

  • 2 teaspoons local reaper honey

  • 2 dashes bitters

  • 3 oz spiced rum

  • ½ oz high proof rum (I used Cruzan 137 hurricane proof)

Directions

  1. Muddle all ingredients except high proof rum

  2. Strain into martini glass

  3. Top with high proof rum

  4. Use a long candle lighter to ignite the rum (have a friend with you to help you light it and keep your hair and face out of the way!)

  5. Turn down the lights to watch it burn!

  6. Burn it down…not literally, just figuratively, and let your friends help you light the flame.
