I would say that matches are preferable to lighters when igniting drinks as
they don't heat up and burn your hand. I prefer to light my drinks in a wine
glass or brandy snifter, which gives a better surface area from which to
ignite the drink. My favorite is called a 'rage juice'. It is made in one of
the glasses above and is equal parts Cointreau, Sambucca and Drambuie. Once
the mixture is alight, cover it with your hand (be careful not to let it burn
to long first. A vacume will form around your hand owing to the absence of
air. Shake the mix whlist it's stuck to your hand, then swallow in one gulp.
It's a kick-ass drink.
