Flaming cocktails are drinks that are ignited before serving, creating a dramatic visual effect. Typically, these cocktails contain high-proof alcohol, such as 151-proof rum or absinthe, which can sustain a flame. The fire can enhance the drink's aroma and flavor, but it also requires careful handling to ensure safety. To prepare a flaming cocktail, bartenders often layer different liquors to create a colorful appearance. Common examples include the Flaming Dr. Pepper and Blue Blazer. While they can be entertaining, it's essential to consume flaming cocktails responsibly and be aware of the risks associated with fire and alcohol.
