Notes

The Flaming Bob Marley Shot is all about the show—its layered colours and fiery top make it a standout at any gathering. The sweet grenadine, cooling crème de menthe, and powerful OP rum blend together to create a flavour explosion. Be sure to handle the flaming rum carefully and always extinguish the flame before sipping.

This shot is perfect for parties or events where you want to impress with both flavour and presentation. If you want to adjust the sweetness or strength, try experimenting with different syrups or liqueurs for the layers.
