Blue Blazer - by Jerry Thomas (The Professor)
120 ml Bulleit Cask-Strength Frontier Bourbon Whiskey
120 ml Boiling Water
4 Barspoons Demerara Sugar
4 Lemon Skins

In two heated stainless steel tankards, add bourbon to one and water to the other. Light the bourbon on fire, then add water. Throw the flaming concoction back and forth between the tankards until the handles become hot to touch. While still flaming, portion into four small glasses, extinguish, add sugar and lemon and give a quick stir. Serve and enjoy!
