Flame On!

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...i have finally picked up the guts to do it.

So geht's:

So here i was pouring myself a B-52 last night when something flashed through my mind. I read it somewhere.

Cointreau is easily ignited.

I don't know when i got the guts to try to ignite a cocktail too, but well, i went and got some matchsticks. The first stick went out with a whoosh which i think was some kind of mini-explosion due to the ignition of the alcohol fumes. But i got it with the second stick! What they say is true...you can't really see an alcohol fire when the lights are on...so...turn off the lights...and you will see a beautiful blue flame dancing on top of the liqeuer. The above picture was taken with the lights off.

It also has this wonderful effect of warming up the liqeuer at the surface only, while the bottom layers remain at room temperature...and well...drinking warm Cointreau was a whole new experience altogether.

I think i've worked out someone's birthday stuff already. Haws...
