To an ice filled glass combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice and agave syrup. Shake and strain into shot glasses. Dip lime slice in salt and place on top of shot glass. Place a sugar cube on the centre of lime slice and pour a dash of 151 on top. Light the sugar cube and once caramelized, blow out the flame and fold the Iime slice dropping both that and the sugar cube into the shot. Nov 15, 2011 - This Pin was discovered by trinity lynne.

As you probably know, I’ve written quite a few posts on different cocktails. I got to thinking what my all-time favorites were and decided on a flaming lamborghini. So, what is a flaming lamborghini?
I was first introduced to it when I was travelling around New Zealand, I met some friends and went for some apres ski in Mount Hutt, NZ. A lot of the bars we went to did a flaming lamborghini and, of course, we tried one (well, actually several!)

Here’s the Tipsy Bartender’s take on this wondrous drink:
It’s basically a cocktail that is set alight and it’s meant to be drunk in one, with a straw (so that you don’t burn your mouth!)
What Is A Flaming Lamborghini Recipe?
You need only four ingredients to make your show stopping flaming lamborghini.
Ingredients:
1 ozKahlua® coffee liqueur
1 ozsambuca
1 ozBlue Curacao liqueur
1 ozBailey’s® Irish cream
How To Make It:
- Pour the sambuca and kahlua into a cocktail glass.
- Pour the baileys and blue curacao into two separate shot glasses either side of the cocktail glass.
- Set light to the concoction in the cocktail glass and start to drink through a straw (this drink should be drunk in one).
- As the bottom of the glass is reached put out the fire by pouring the baileys and blue curacao into the cocktail glass and keep drinking till it’s all gone.
That’s all there is to it! The Tipsy Bartender’s instructions above are to make a tower of the cocktail, which you can Wow your guests with. Alternatively you can just use one cocktail glass and two shot glasses, like the recipe above.
Trip Advisor suggests you head to Iluze Bar in Prague to try a flaming lamborghini or Isa’s Bar in Turkey. Alternatively, you could head for Bangkok and visit The Myst Bar
