Drogon’S Breath Cocktail
- 1 1/2 ounces gin (Tanqueray recommended)
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce prepared simple syrup
- 1/2 ounce fresh orange juice
- 1/4 ounce Aperol
- Fresh basil leaves
- Red wine
- Cruzan 151 Rum (optional)
- Halved, hollowed-out orange (optional)
- Put first 5 ingredients (through Aperol) into a shaker filled halfway with ice. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Muddle basil; add to mixture in the shaker and shake for an additional 5-10 seconds.
- Fill a glass with pulverized or crushed ice. Strain the contents of shaker over ice. With a spoon, top mixture with your desired amount of red wine so that it will "float" on top of the ice.
- Take the hollowed out orange half, dry out thoroughly, and fill with high-proof rum, such as Cruzan 151. Push down into cocktail until the lower half of the orange is submerged; light the rum on fire with a match or lighter. For best results, you may want to soak a crouton or piece of bread in the rum.
- Note: The last two ingredients listed, along with the entire third step of this recipe, is completely optional. This is simply an explanation of the method we used to create a flaming version of this cocktail for show; this step is in no way necessary to create a delicious beverage.
