Notes

The Flame Thrower Shot is all about the dramatic presentation. The combination of grape brandy and peach liqueur offers a sweet, rich flavour, but the real showstopper is the flaming rum. This shot is perfect for parties where you want to impress or add a bit of theatre to the drink menu. Always handle the flaming rum carefully and make sure to blow it out before drinking. The slight burn from the rum adds a fiery twist to the smooth sweetness of the shot.

Experiment with different brandy or liqueur flavours if you’re looking to change up the profile, but the key to the Flame Thrower is that bold, fiery finish.
