This simple yet effective drink was invented by Enoch Bailey of Australia and proved an instant hit with his friends to start off the night or impress companions. However, its effects truely are powerful and this should be kept in mind as repeat consumption can definitely be a bad idea. It is this hard-hitting quality which impressed his friends and it soon became somewhat of an institution to start the night with a Caribbean Afterburner. That, and the local bar sold them for $5 a pop which was an absolute bargain!WARNING: Method used below involves igniting spirits and is essential for the desired taste and unique effect. Only perform in an area free from detritus and flammable objects. So don't sit near a curtain or drape. Please.
Once poured into a glass [ideally tumbler or rocks style] the spirits should be ignited and briefly poured to a second, and identical, empty glass set aside beforehand. Instantly extinguish the flaming spirits by putting the original glass rim to rim with the second and forming a seal. Wait 10 seconds after the spirits have been extinguished to let excess heat diminish, then crack the seal slightly and inhale the lingering vapors. Immediately afterwards, remove the top glass altogether and down the liquid contents in one swift movement.
About Caribbean Afterburner
The Caribbean Afterburner is a vibrant and eye-catching shot that captures the essence of tropical islands with its bold color and exotic flavors. The drink consists of just two ingredients: 1 ounce of rum and 1/2 ounce of Blue Curacao. The rum provides a robust and warming base, offering a taste of the Caribbean, while the Blue Curacao adds a splash of citrusy sweetness and a striking azure hue. This combination creates a balanced yet potent shot that's both visually appealing and flavorful, making it a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of the tropics to their celebrations.
The origins of the Caribbean Afterburner are somewhat unclear, as is the case with many popular cocktails and shots. However, its components—rum and Blue Curacao—have deep roots in Caribbean culture and history. Rum has been produced in the Caribbean since the 17th century and is a staple in many island drinks. Blue Curacao, a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, hails from the island of Curaçao. Together, these ingredients embody the spirit and flavors of the Caribbean, making the Caribbean Afterburner a tribute to the region's rich cocktail tradition.
This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!
Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
