Ingredients
4 fl oz scotch whisky, cask-strength
2 tsp demerara, or raw sugar
3 fl oz boiling water, (plus more boiling water to heat mugs)
2 lemon twists, for garnish
Preparation
Preheat 2 glass mugs with boiling water, discarding water before adding the cocktail.
Clear all flammable materials from mixing area. Lay down a damp towel or two to soak up potential spills. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand.
Add the scotch, sugar and boiling water into one of the mugs, and carefully ignite with a match.
Very carefully, pour the flaming liquid back and forth from mug to mug, about 5 times.
Divide the drink evenly between the two mugs and extinguish the flames by covering one mug with the other and vice versa.
Garnish each mug with a lemon twist.
