Thirsty Thursday: Olympic Edition

Having a cocktail while watching the Olympics is only trumped by one thing, having a cocktail while watching the Olympics live.  Let's raise a glass, in honor of all those amazing athletes competing in the London Olympics, with the Olympic Torch.

OLYMPIC TORCH

Courtesy of TY KU. Warning: This recipe calls for an open flame, so proceed with caution. • 2 oz. sake
• 1 oz. coffee-flavored liqueur
• 1.5 oz. cream
• 1 oz. dark rum
• Cinnamon, to taste

Shake and strain sake and liqueur into a martini glass. Over bar spoon, pour cream to float on top. Over cream, float the rum. Light the rum with a match, and as the flame burns, sprinkle some cinnamon onto the flame. Clap hands over the flame to put the flame out. Stir and serve.

Because let's face it, the only Olympic team I'll ever be on is this one...

Feeling Patriotic

I love the summer Olympic games.  Watching the "fab five" or the US women's gymnastic team take home gold and blow the competition out of the water last night was simply inspiring.  All their hard work paid off, as these ladies deserved their big win last night, go team USA!
