Flaming drinks are cocktails that are ignited before serving, creating a dramatic visual effect. Typically, a high-proof alcohol, such as 151-proof rum or absinthe, is used as a float on top of the drink, allowing it to catch fire. The flames can enhance the drink's aroma and flavor, but they also require careful handling to ensure safety. These drinks are often served in bars and restaurants as a form of entertainment. Popular examples include the Flaming Dr. Pepper and Blue Blazer. While they can be visually stunning, it's important to consume flaming drinks responsibly and be aware of the potential hazards involved.
