Notes

The Flaming Daniel Shot is all about intense, layered flavours. The OP rum brings strength, the anise liqueur adds a bold, licorice-like sweetness, and the herbal liqueur provides an earthy complexity. Lighting the drink not only adds a dramatic visual effect but also slightly caramelises the flavours, giving the drink a warm, rich finish. Be sure to extinguish the flame before taking the shot, and handle fire carefully.

This shot is perfect for adventurous drinkers who want to mix bold flavours with a bit of theatre. If you want to customise it, try experimenting with different herbal liqueurs to tweak the flavour profile.
