The Flaming Dr. Pepper is a flaming cocktail that is said to taste like the soft drink Dr Pepper, although it does not contain any. It is usually made by filling a shot glass 3/4 full with Amaretto, and 1/4 Bacardi 151 (or everclear) to make it flammable. The shot is then lit on fire and dropped into a glass of beer, which is then quickly consumed. A common variation is to use amaretto and Kahlua. The American Journal of Emergency Medicine reported a case in 1997 where a 14-year-old boy from Danville, Virginia inadvertently spilled the contents of the shotglass on his face while transferring it to the glass of beer, resulting in "multiple separate sites of superficial partial-thickness burns" about his face and neck.
Non-Flaming Dr. Pepper Another known method of making a Dr. Pepper cocktail, without flames, is usually achieved by using a Collins glass and filling it half with lager (usually the cheapest available) and half with cola. Then a shot glass containing Amaretto is dropped into the glass, creating what is known as the depth-charge effect of mixing the contents. | ||||||||
