What is a Flaming Lamborghini Drink?
A flaming Lamborghini drink is a combination of Kahlua and sambuca with shots of Irish cream and blue curaçao. Then, the whole drink is lit on fire!
This drink is called a flaming Lamborghini because, well, it’s literally flaming with fire. Some other fire drinks are: the flaming sambuca and the flaming dr. pepper.
This drink tastes sort of like caramelized coffee with a hint of licorice on the back end. It is an elaborate drink, but the taste and spectacle are worth it.
The coffee flavor from this drink comes from Kahlua which is a coffee flavored liqueur. It originated in Mexico and is made of arabica coffee, sugar and rum.
Irish cream is made from cream, cocoa and Irish whiskey. It has a very sweet creamy flavor with hints of chocolate and vanilla.
Blue Curacao is a bright blue liqueur. It has an orange or citrus flavor to it.
Sambuca is a clear liqueur. It originated in Italy and has a very intensely strong licorice flavor. If you like Sambuca, it also comes in a black color that is used in this flat tire shot.
How to drink a flaming Lamborghini drink
part of the nuance of this drink is the way that you drink it. You start out by literally lighting it on fire. Then, you use a metal straw placed at the bottom of the drink to drink the Kahlua out of the drink.
As the Kahlua gets finished, you add your shots of Irish cream and blue curaçao which should extinguish the fire. Continue drinking through your straw until all the liquid is gone.
Of course if you’re not a cocktail drinking Daredevil, you can light the drink on fire then dump both your shots in so that the fire is extinguished before you start drinking with your straw.
A few similar drinks are: The irish breakfast shot, the minderaser shot and the slippery nipple shot
