AFlaming Doctor Pepper, orFlaming Dr Pepper, is aflaming cocktail with taste similar to the soft drinkDr Pepper, despite Dr Pepper not being one of its ingredients. Dave Brinks of theGold Mine Saloon lays claim to inventing the drink.[1][2][3]
It is usually made by filling ashot glass with 3 partsAmaretto and 1 part high-proof liquor, such asEverclear orBacardi 151.[4][5][6] The two liquors are not mixed; the high-proof alcohol is layered on top of the Amaretto. The shot is then set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer. The flames are extinguished by the beer, and the cocktail should then be drunk quickly.[4]
