Cindy Lou Who’s Christmas Sparkler Recipe

Ingredients:

Clove-Infused Simple Syrup:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 10-12 whole cloves

Instructions:

Clove-Infused Simple Syrup:

Combine water, sugar, and cloves in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Strain out the cloves and store the infused syrup in a sealed container.

Prepare the Shot:

Rim the shot glass with an orange twist for an extra burst of citrus aroma. Fill the shot glass with crushed ice.

Mix the Shot:

In a shaker, combine Smirnoff Orange vodka, clove-infused simple syrup, triple sec, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a dash of orange bitters. Shake well to chill the mixture.

Ignite the Shot:

Carefully strain the mixture into the prepared shot glass over the crushed ice. Using a long lighter, carefully ignite the surface of the shot.

Serve:

Allow the shot to flame for a few seconds to create a visually stunning effect. Extinguish the flame by placing a coaster or a metal lid over the shot glass, cutting off the oxygen supply. Once the flame is out, garnish with an orange twist.
