Makes 2 drinks. Place a lemon peel in each of two teacups or small, heavy glasses. To prevent a fire, pour some water in a baking sheet over which you’ll make the blue blazer. Dim the lights.Have ready two one-pint mugs, ideally metal with a flared lip. Pour sugar and 3 ounces of boiling water into one mug and then add the scotch. Ignite alcohol with a long match and pour about half the liquid into empty mug, then pour that back into the first mug. Repeat four or five times. Proceed quickly but with great caution. Pour drink into cups and cover with tea towel to extinguish flame. #batch #roll #straight #hot
