Notes
This cocktail features distinct layers in both taste and appearance. You will first taste the sting of the vodka, followed immediately by the lingering sweetness of the coffee cream. Drinking it lit provides a unique experience of fire and ice, placing it within the category of classic creative cocktails. The coffee liqueur and Irish cream provide a small amount of caffeine and milk fat, but the overall nutrition is primarily alcohol. The process requires practice in layering and the lighting technique, making it slightly challenging for beginners. The entire process takes only about 5 minutes.

- When drinking this, a common method used in bars is to provide a straw, insert it while the fire is still burning, and then quickly gulp it all down.
- Since the straw is too thin and lacks sufficient oxygen, the flame will go out; do not worry. At this point, you will feel a burning sensation travel straight down your throat to your stomach, after which you will be left with the long-lasting aftertaste of coffee and cream. It is very stimulating and delicious.
