Flaming Sambuca

[Sinque]

What does it actually do apart from heat the stuff up?

Surely it would only burn most of the alcohol away making the drink less strong?

Also how long do I leave it burning?

 

[Sinque]

Yeah, I was in spain and I did a shot of something. The guy had it in a tall glass, lit it then put his hand on the top. Then he made me breathe the fumes in then take the shot, not really sure what affect it had.

 

[Sinque]

What about breathing the fumes? Or would it just have the same affect because you drank it on fire?

 

[Sinque]

Sorry but thats what the discussion involves.. the alcohol itself.

One of the original questions being:


Surely it would only burn most of the alcohol away making the drink less strong?

I've read that it's alcohol vapours in the gas

We're going to put a shot glass on a plate and pour sambuca in it until it over flows. We shall then light it, drink it through a straw then put a glass over it and slowly lower it until it goes out. Finally breathing everything in the glass using a straw. Should be interesting!

 

[Sinque]

Do it with a pint glass instead of a shot glass, that would be more interesting...

A pint of Sambuka... It'd be like a bomb

I'd love to try, i've necked a pint of vodka before, necked it, gagged and coughed and then fell into my seat with watering eyes. I felt great 5 minutes later.
Dunno if I could do it flaming though.

I want to be you?

Got the goods, just waiting for something happen.

Result: I was destroyed. I feel super ill. Good night!
