Flaming Dragon

The Flaming Dragon is an audacious shot that combines the herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse with the robust warmth of Bacardi rum. This concoction is known for its fiery presentation, often ignited to create a mesmerizing display of blue flames, which adds a theatrical flair to its consumption. The shot delivers a bold sensory experience, balancing the intense herbal notes of Chartreuse with the smooth, sweet undertones of rum. The heat from the flames slightly caramelizes the surface, adding a hint of smokiness to the mix, and providing a thrilling contrast of temperatures when consumed.

The concept of flaming drinks has been around for decades, often associated with the mid-20th century tiki culture, where bartenders would light cocktails on fire to add drama and allure. The Flaming Dragon, while not as entrenched in cocktail history as some classic tiki drinks, follows in this tradition of captivating presentation and daring flavor combinations. It showcases the adventurous spirit of modern mixology, where bartenders and enthusiasts alike experiment with traditional ingredients to create exciting new experiences.

This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Shot 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!
