Scorched earth policy
In honor of some unknown, warlike inspiration, possibly the forthecoming movie Jarhead, or flashbacks to the IMAX film Fires of Kuwait, the husband and a person known to us as "Bird" created the following drink while walking down the streets of Seattle's Capitol Hill last weekend:
The Kuwaiti Oil Fire
Into a shotglass, pour:
3/4 oz Sambuca
1/2 oz Jagermeister
On top of this, float:
1/4 oz 151 Rum
Ignite.
Although I did not try one, I was unconvincingly told it was "great" by three tasters, all of whom hesitantly blew out the fire after 2 or 3 failed attempts, and then coughed, winced, and staggered after swallowing the shot (That its acronym is KOF may be no coincidence).
Semper fi, brave drink pioneers. I will be on alert for signs of Gulf War Syndrome in the coming days.
Note: I have been recently informed that a certain Nup actually *named* the drink, a pretty key contribution that I have neglected to credit.

A drink that has 'ignite' as the final step in the recipe...Does it get any better than that?
