Cocktails set alight.

Flaming beverages include cocktails and other mixed drinks that contain a small amount of flammable high-proof alcohol, which is ignited prior to consumption. The flames are decorative and do not change the flavor of the drinks noticeably. Flaming cocktails are more spectacular in dimly lit surroundings where the flames are more visible. Drinkers should be aware that the drinkware may remain quite hot for a while after the flames are extinguished, which could result in burns.

[edit] Hazards

It is an obvious fire hazard and should not be attempted by the inexperienced. There have been several cases of injuries from flaming beverages. Always extinguish the flames before drinking. Disfiguring second degree burns have been reported on inexperienced drinkers.
