Flaming Dr Pepper

The Flaming Dr Pepper is a shot, made with amaretto, overproof white rum and lager, served in a shot glass.

Strength: about 37% ABV in the glass, roughly 9 g of alcohol per drink (an estimate; brands and dilution vary).

Tastes surprisingly like the soft drink it is named after, without containing any.

Ingredients

Amaretto22.5 ml (¾ oz)
Overproof white rum7.5 ml (¼ oz)
Lager150 ml on the side

Measures for one serve. Open the drink in Bar Bible to scale it to a batch or switch to ounces.

Method

  2. Pour amaretto into a shot glass and float a little overproof rum on top.
  3. Light the rum, blow it out, then drop the shot into the beer and drink. Keep hair, sleeves and bottles well away from the flame.
