Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Drambuie® Scotch whisky
1 1/2 oz Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
Directions:
Pour equal amounts into Brandy Snifter and light.
Place hands over top of glass to form airtight seal that extinguishes flame. Slide straw between fingers keeping seal as tight as possible. Drink beverage through straw.
Remove straw after drink is finished. Put glass to nose and remove hand to allow burnt fumes to be inhaled through nose. Definitely a one-a-nighter.
Description:
The Backdraft is a cocktail that is noted for its elaborate preparation and extreme potency. Named after the Backdraft which occurs in some fire situations, this drink produces a similar condition on purpose using flammable alcoholic drinks and an enclosing container, such as an upside down pint glass. The potency of the Backdraft drink is in the types of liquors used, and in the order they are consumed. Below is a typical procedure for producing one variation of the Backdraft drink. The combination of warm alcohol, followed by inhaling vapourized alcohol, and then finishing with a highly spiced warm alcohol, makes the drinking of this drink difficult, and while it tends not to have an immediate effect (since it is drunk quickly), the warmth of the alcohol and the vapour, make the concentration and absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream quicker than other drinks, and produces a more profound impact.
The procedure listed below is a typical illustration of how the drink is presented, and the steps used to produce the backdraft effect. The alcohols listed are strictly for demonstration purposes, and can be substituted with others, as there are various recipes. However, the steps of this procedure are required to be taken in this order to produce what is know as a classic backdraft drink.
