Flaming Tree - Summary

The Flaming Tree is a visually striking and potent shot that combines the herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse with the fiery intensity of overproof rum. Green Chartreuse, a French liqueur made by Carthusian monks since the 18th century, is known for its vibrant green color and its complex blend of 130 herbs and botanicals. The overproof rum, typically 151 proof or higher, adds a strong alcoholic punch and serves a crucial role in the shot's presentation.

The drink's name, Flaming Tree, likely derives from the fiery spectacle it creates when the overproof rum is ignited, producing a flickering flame reminiscent of a burning tree. This dramatic presentation makes it a popular choice for those seeking a memorable and adventurous drinking experience. While the exact origins of the Flaming Tree are unclear, it draws upon the long-standing tradition of flaming cocktails and shots, which have been a part of cocktail culture for decades, adding an element of showmanship and excitement to the drinking experience.

This drink style is classified as a Shot and is Alcoholic, so drink responsibly! The recommended glass type for this drink is a Shot Glass. We say, feel free to serve it in whatever you have available; it will still taste the same :)

You may also use different variations of the same ingredient. For example, you could change up fruit types or sugar substitutes. Other substitutions would include different brands of liquor. For example, if your drink calls for a specific type of whiskey, you could try using bourbon instead of Irish.

Crafting cocktails should be fun, so get creative and make it your own. Who knows, you might find your next favorite!
