As it burns, carefully pour the Bailey’s and Blue Curacao into two separate shot glasses on either side of the flaming glass. Once ready, the Bailey’s and Blue Curacao are simultaneously poured into the flaming cocktail, extinguishing the flames and mixing the ingredients.

Is the flaming Lamborghini strong?

Yes, the Flaming Lamborghini is a potent drink. With a combination of Sambuca, Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and Blue Curacao, it’s not only rich in flavors but also in alcohol content. The burning process doesn’t significantly reduce the alcohol percentage, so it remains a strong cocktail.

Why is it called flaming Lamborghini?

Are flaming shots safe?

Flaming shots, when done correctly and safely, can be consumed without harm. However, they come with risks. It’s crucial to ensure the flame is entirely extinguished before drinking. Never try to consume a drink while it’s still on fire. Also, always prepare and consume flaming shots in a safe environment, away from flammable materials.

What is the most flammable alcohol?

The flammability of alcohol is determined by its alcohol content or proof. The higher the proof, the more flammable the alcohol. Spirits like Everclear, Bacardi 151, and other high-proof liquors are particularly flammable and often used for flaming shots or cocktails.

What is the alcohol content of a flaming Lamborghini?

The alcohol content of a Flaming Lamborghini varies based on the specific brands and proportions of ingredients used. However, given that it contains Sambuca, Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and Blue Curacao, it’s a high-alcohol content drink. On average, you can expect the cocktail to range from 25% to 40% alcohol by volume, depending on preparation and ingredient ratios.
