History & Origin

The Rum Fire Shot is a dramatic flaming shot that showcases the theatrical side of bartending. Flaming drinks have a long history, with Café Brûlot and flaming punches dating to the 19th century. Modern flaming shots like this one became popular in party-oriented bars, combining the excitement of fire with the kick of overproof rum. Safety precautions are essential when preparing and consuming flaming beverages.
