Flaming Samboka

The other night a bunch of us went to this basement that was made into a club. The joint was hoppin' with top American hits from the 90's and jammed packed with youthful Romanians wall to wall. As I worked my way to the bar I saw the bartender light someone's mouth on fire. WHOA! Being intrigued on way one would ever do such I thing I ask the bartender what that was. He responded with "flaming samboka."

The following steps are how to take a Flamming Samboka shot:

1. Take a shot of samboka and DO NOT swallow

2. Lean backwards over the bar

3. Have the bartender light the shot on fire in your mouth

4. Let the fire burn as the bartender sprinkles powdered cinnamon into your mouth

5. Close your mouth, stand up, and swallow the concoction whole

Be warned, they're addicting...
