1/2 slice lemon

Just before drinking, ignite the sugar. Blow the flame out when it seems to caramelize the sugar. Lick the sugar off the lemon slice, down the vodka mixture, then either suck the juices or bite the pulp of the lemon.

This is always a party favorite whenever I throw them... I always squeeze the lemon into the shot though once I blow out the flames. Everyone always loves them that way and will rave about them for weeks.

Light it up

I tried this for a Birthday, but the lemon didn't want to burn so I just floated the Barcadi over the whole drink and lit it all on fire. Make sure to blow it out quickly, otherwise it gets too hot to drink. Apparently, it is good warm.
