Flaming cocktails

Burning a cocktail or drink before drinking it will make any party more fun. Of course, if everything has been done correctly and not set on fire, no interior:). 
Most alcoholic beverages can be ignited, and usually after warming them more pleasing to the taste. 
Terms of flaming drinks: 
It is important to warm up the dishes, which would be burning liquids, so that it did not break because of sudden changes in temperature. 
When heated glass, do not use an open flame, the glass may darken. 
Technology of preparation is as follows: first set fire to the alcohol in the spoon, then add it to the cocktail. If done correctly, the fire spread to the entire drink. 
If the bar prepares cocktails burning need to stock up licenses and permits. 
When the ignition, keep in mind that fire spreads very quickly. Fast enough to singe hair. So be careful. 
Once lit do not wear a glass of alcohol everywhere, more so for a long time. It is dangerous, because the flames spread to other things quickly. Particularly dry summer.
