Where the name comes from
The Screaming Nazi is Jagermeister and cinnamon schnapps. The Dead Nazi adds peppermint to the mix, and the Flamin’ version sets it on fire. The name is meant to provoke and lands in the same shock-shot tradition as the Brain Haemorrhage and the IED. Use your judgement on whether to call it that out loud.
It is a flame-shot variant from the late 1990s and early 2000s when overproof and high-sugar liqueurs were everywhere.
What it tastes like
Bitter herbal Jager hits first, cinnamon and peppermint chase it down. The flame caramelises the surface and gives a toasted top note.
Cold ingredients flame longer and burn cleaner. Warm and the flame goes out fast, taking the theatre with it.
