The Flaming Dr Pepper is a remarkable cocktail that tastes like Dr Pepper soda despite containing no cola. The combination of amaretto, high-proof rum (set on fire), and beer creates a chemical reaction that mimics the famous 23-flavor soft drink. The shot is lit on fire before dropping into beer, so caution is required.
