Bar:
Tavern
Drink: Flaming Lamborghini
Formula
1 and the Tavern go together like Monaco and Grand
Prix It's no surprise then that the Tavern 'cocktail
of the month' is a fiery concoction called the
'Flaming Lamborghini.' Served in a large martini
(or proper cocktail glass) the Flaming Lamborghini
is imbibed while still flaming. For those of you
who still value unscarred lips, it is sucked through
a straw - not sipped like a martini. The drink
is not for the faint of heart; for a start it
is priced at a whopping NT$580 and it is, by design,
closer to rocket fuel then Italian Gelato. The
drink is more like a Long Island Ice tea in that
it's raison d'etre is to get you to the finish
line as fast as possible. I got one for Mrs. Chang,
and within twenty minutes she was racing the Tavern
like a Montoya in high heels.
Ingredients:
* Baileys - 1 Shot
* Galliano - 2 Shots
* Blue Curacao - 1 Shot
* Sambuca - 1 Shot
* Bacardi 151 - 1/2 Shot
* 2 shot glasses
* 1 Brandy Snifter
* 1 Cocktail Glass
* 1 Straw
* 1 Lighter
Instructions:
Pour the Baileys and Blue Curacao into the shot
glasses. Mix the Sambuca and Bacardi shots in
the brandy snifter. Pour the Galliano into the
Cocktail glass. Next simultaneously pour the contents
of the two shot classes into the Galliano, and
then float the Bacardi and Sambuca on top of that.
Light the alcohol floating on top and let it burn.
Insert the straw and sip until the flame goes
out.
Here
we have The Tavern's Teresa Lu mixing the drink
for us, and the unsuspecting Rick McGrail sampling
the concoction. Rick's conclusion: 'thanks for
the drink it really gets you wrecked.' |
