The ginger liqueur is incredible. We were at a friend's dinner party, and a group of 8 of us polished of a bottle in one night.!

It's only 28% alcohol, so each person had about 2 T of pure alcohol over the course of several hours.

No worries! I just don't want anyone to think I'm advocating drinking and driving!

I swear, if you look closely, there's a bit of a mitt shaped thingy on the bottom of the glass and some sort of a newt-ish looking deal, smack dab in the middle and floating on the top near the flame is a wicked comb-over. I'm off to hunt for the pomegranate liqueur today.

TiggyBee, you are so creatively perceptive! I just got some PAMA so I can make this when special friends visit next month for a special toast.

Oh, the flavors! Beautiful, just beautiful--and it looks good, too. I used to think that there was no drink more beautiful than a sweaty glass of iced sweet tea with a lemon pinwheel on it.
I hope it's easier to swallow than some of the stuff the other GOP tries to ram down our throats. Did I really say that? You betcha! : D

Thanks, ChezSuzanne! I thank the martini party we had last summer, which helped provide my liquor stock!

Love the title! Brilliant. Recipe sounds amazing too. I was also developing a flaming cocktail recipe, but yours is just too divine...back to the drawing board.

There's always room for more flaming cocktails, and you always have great recipes! Bring it on.

As I lifelong political liberal, I wish you had picked another name for your incredible recipe. On the other hand, I have spent 24 hours trying for a suggestion - no go. This is a spectacular recipe! Big thumbs up!

I've got it! I'm gonna nickname this awesome drink Sex On Fire, and sip it while listening to Kings of Leon. Reminds me of Sex On The Beach a little. The, um, cocktail? ;)

That's a much more PC name than mine! Though it makes me wonder about your sex life a little bit, mrslarkin ;)

It looks lovely - a big well done to your brother. Was he making up for years of being the 'not-best brother in the world'....like mine would? Anyhow, really superb!

Lucky for me, my brother has been pretty decent, so he doesn't have to make up for anything!

This is amazing!! I loved the idea, and now that I can see it, I love it even more. Cheers, hardlikearmour!

Wow!!!!!! Absolutely brilliant. I have to ask - did you chug it like a shot, or stylishly sip it? Or both? ;)

When I was in high school, drinking fire was a party trick--one that landed one of the boys (who had a full beard at the time) in the hospital with burns on his face. Be careful!!

That's why I blow it out before drinking! Don't want to catch my hair on fire or singe my eyebrows or worse!

Kudos! To you and your brother for the flame photo. This is fabulous. Now I will have to get some pomegranate liqueur to try this. Will need company for this one! Maybe when my friend from Belarus visits at the end of next month we will have a very special toast!

My brother does HDR photos which I thought would work really well for the picture. Started to rain before it got dark so my friend held an umbrella, I lit the drink, and my brother took the photos! It's a pretty tasty drink. The OJ and ginger area great as a pair - had to sample a few failed pours while I was practicing ;)

My brother informed me the photo is not HDR - which won't work with movement from the flame.

Beautiful, great research too, and do you have liquor syringes on hand at all times? :-)
hardlikearmour
March 20, 2011
Yep, I do! They are great for drizzling sugar syrups onto cake layers. It helps that I'm a veterinarian; makes for easy access.

That's awesome - Ginger needs a bortadella booster, maybe I can mooch a couple off my vet!

Thanks! When I was trying to come up with a name, I was going "ginger-orange-pomegranate in my head, then went g-o-p, laughed, and had the name!

Beautiful! I think Amanda and Merrill just wanted an excuse for Happy Hour this week! Can't wait to drink, er, I mean "test" some of these!

Thanks! I was pretty giddy with how it turned out, probably from sampling too many!
