Method

  1. 01

    Pour Cointreau, Cognac, and Sambuca into a brandy glass.

  2. 02

    Slowly heat the glass with a lighter, maintaining a steady heat while rotating the rounded bottom of the brandy glass.

  3. 03

    As the liquid warms, it will release alcohol vapor.

  4. 04

    Lick your palm, then light the alcohol in the glass, and quickly cover the rim of the glass with your licked palm.

  5. 05

    After covering the glass, the flame will slowly burn off all the oxygen, creating a vacuum inside the glass.

  6. 06

    Now invert the glass and make a basketball shooting motion.

  7. 07

    The glass will stick firmly to your palm! Slide the glass along the rim, starting from the area near your thumb and index finger.

  8. 08

    Smell the vapor in the glass, then drink it in one go.
