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.
