Preparation
- Step 1
Heat a clean fireplace poker — an old, seasoned one is best — in the hot coals of a fire until glowing. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, then carefully lower the red-hot tip into the glass. If the poker is hot enough, the alcohol will spontaneously ignite. Don’t fret too much if ignition doesn’t occur — you’ll still get the caramel-like flavor. Hold the poker there until the boiling begins to subside, then remove the poker and serve immediately.

You can put an match to make it burn more.
impressive, interesting concept, but has anyone actually gotten this to work? i have tried everything save napalming my beer glass and nothing works. i recommend a test run before asking the lights to be dimmed at your next dinner party...
Maybe try floating the cognac? It would seem that mixing all of that together will drop the ABV sufficiently as to prevent combustion.
Do you have to use tempered glass ?
That would be well advised.
