Mixing Instructions

This is a drink originating in Germany with a kind of ritual attached to it. Layer the Cointreau, then yellow chartreuse in a highball glass. Tilt slightly and light the mixture with a match. Wet your palm (use a damp rag or lick it) and place it over the top of the glass until the fire goes out. Give it a bit of a shake, then remove your hand slowly and inhale the air inside, then immediately shoot the entire contents. Immediately following that, put two fingers in your mouth, inhale really fast and attempt to say: "Hakkespett!" This is German for "woodpecker".

Have fun!
