Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Midori (melon liqueur)
- 0.75 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 2 oz Pineapple juice
- 0.25 oz Dark rum (for flaming garnish)
- 1 piece Lime wheel
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add vodka, Midori, lime juice, simple syrup, and pineapple juice to the shaker.
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
Slice a small notch into the lime wheel and coat it with granulated sugar.
Float the lime wheel, sugar-side up, on top of the cocktail.
Carefully pour the dark rum onto the lime wheel, ensuring it stays in the center.
Using a long-reach lighter or match, ignite the dark rum on the lime wheel to create a flame. Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds for the dramatic effect, then extinguish it before drinking (safely blow it out).
Serve immediately and enjoy your Flaming Green Dragon responsibly.
