Shots with fire
How to set a shot on fire and why you really shouldn’t do it.
Alcohol is very flammable. The higher the proof and the hotter its initial temperature, the easier it’s vapors will ignite.Do not leave a shot burning for longer than necessary. It could explode, sending molten glass and liquid fire everywhere.Never try to blow out a flaming shot. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever! Not only will it not work, you stand a good chance of blowing flaming alcohol onto the people or objects around you. Instead, extinguish the shot by either
dropping it into a cocktail or smothering it with a coffee mug or a shaker tin.

Featured Spooky Garnish:
The Lychee Eyeball
Although originally crafted for the Mad Eye Martini, it can complement almost any cocktail. It is made with a lychee fruit and a blueberry. For maximum visual effect, skewer the garnish and rest it on the rim of the glass. Alternatively, you can freeze the eyeballs in ice cube trays and then place them in snifters, for those who prefer to sip their spirits on the rocks.
