I remember seeing this done once, and have seen in one of our books at work 
but managed to find it on the net. Still a little on the flaming sambuca 
thread, however...

From: http://www.cocktailmaking.co.uk

1 shot kahlua
1 shot sambuca (white or black)
1 shot blue curaçao
1 shot baileys irish cream
straw
matches 

Layer Sambuca over kahlua in narrow glass and pour a shot of baileys into one 
shot glass and blue curacao into another.

Place straw into layered kahlua and sambuca and ignite sambuca. 

Then drink before straw melts and as last dregs of sambuca are being drunk 
pour in baileys and blue curaçao at the same time. These are to be drunk 
through the straws at the same time.

Dangerous be careful fire and extremely high alcohol content are very 
dangerous! :) 


P.S. also on the Webtender at http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/2966


We have a cocktail on our list called

Bombay Blueberry
1 1/2 oz Bombay Blue Saphire Gin
1/2 oz lemon/lime juice
dash of Orange Bitters
dash of Blue Curacao (just enough to turn the thing blue)
dash of Cranberry juice (just enough to then turn it Blueberry :)

Assemble in a mixing tin with ice, stir like a Martini and strain into a 
chilled Martini glass. The finishing touch is to flame orange peel on the 
surface.

Garnish with a twist of orange.


HOW TO FLAME AN ORANGE PEEL from: http://www.kingcocktail.com

The fruit should be firm and fresh to insure there is enough oil present in 
the skin. To flame the oil, hold a lit match in one hand, and pick up the 
twist in the other very carefully like holding an egg shell, if you squeeze 
the twist prematurely the oil will be expelled. Hold the twist by the side not 
the ends, between thumb and forefinger, skin side down, about four inches 
above the drink. Don't squeeze or you'll lose all the oil before you flame. 
Hold the match between the drink and the twist, closer to the twist. Snap the 
twist sharply, propelling the oil through the lit match and onto the surface 
of the drink. (Be sure to hold twist far enough from the drink to avoid 
getting a smoky film on the glass.)


Cheers,

Jim.
