Flaming Lemon Shot
A theatrical and sweet party shooter that mimics the taste of fresh lemonade through a caramelized finish. It combines the herbal complexity of Galliano with citrus vodka, capped with a sugar-coated lemon wedge ignited by overproof rum for a dramatic presentation.
Ingredients
- 0.5 OZ Galliano
- 0.5 OZ Absolut Citron Vodka
- 1 WEDGE Lemon
- 1 TSP Sugar
- 0.25 OZ 151 Proof Rum
How to Make It
- Pour the Galliano and Absolut Citron Vodka into a shot glass.
- Generously coat the flesh of the lemon wedge with the sugar.
- Balance the sugared lemon wedge across the top rim of the shot glass.
- Pour the 151 proof rum over the lemon wedge, allowing it to coat the sugar and flow into the glass.
- Carefully light the rum-soaked lemon on fire using a lighter and let it burn for a second to caramelize the sugar.
- Extinguish the flame, consume the shot quickly, and immediately bite into the lemon wedge to complete the lemonade flavor profile.
