Flaming Dr. Pepper

We're getting crazy in the house, we're mixing beer and amaretto with a little bit o' fire. How much more awesome can it get?

why do you not prepare more? get some pour spouts on your bottles before you start filming.

@samyooel27 Because I record five shows at a time to publish five a week, preparation is optimized for what's needed. My viewers don't have pour spouts, so I don't either.

1. light beer does help a lot. less taste in a beer is better for this drink. you want the beer mainly for carbonation, and a little flavor to add to the amaretto

2. more amaretto in the shot. it's generally almost a full shot of amaretto, topped with 151

3.drop it in and drink it immediately, don't wait as long as you did. AND. do chug it. a lighter beer also helps with the chug.

good video, your style just conflicted with the best way to make this drink. well done though!

@hoodratstuffs that's how we often roll, conflicting with the best way to do stuff :) But it's fun non-the-less!

@schmendriks thanks!

@nissan420a never said I was doing something professional. I thought "common man" cocktails pretty much called that out :)

I didn't know that, thanks for the knowledge :)

@hoodratstuffs actually it is necesary to light it on fire, because the burning 151 actually sort of carmelizes the sugars in the amaretto which is where you're getting that dr. peppery taste from. the beer is used to imitate carbonation of the soda and add volume

Lol Amaretto in Dr.pepper I need to drink dr.pepper more.

[kemando12]

So, there isn't any "Dr. Pepper" involved? lol

[hoodratstuffs]

@hoodratstuffs oh and if you do all that stuff that i said, it really does taste like dr. pepper! lighting it on fire is not necessary, but sufficiently awesome to impress people. great videos! learning a lot
