Introduction: How to Make the Flaming Dr. Pepper!
A Popular Party Drink That Tastes Just Like The Soda. Check It Out!
I have no idea how this works.. its magic really.. some kind of voodoo im guessing.
But anyway if you mix these 3 alcoholic beverages, (the best kind of beverages,) By some sort of Booze Miracle it tastes just like a frosty Dr. Pepper!
Here is the instructional video. Next I will break it down into steps.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients..
All you need for this one is..
1/2 - 3/4 full glass of light beer.
1/2 shot of amaretto.
1/2 shot of 151 proof Rum
a lighter, a spoon, and a shot glass.
Step 2: Layer
This is the tricky part. Carefully layer the rum on top of the amaretto.
This takes a little bit of practice.. watch the video for further instructions.
*151 proof rum is required because most other brands are to low of a percentage of alcohol to ignite.
Step 3: Ingite!
Carefully Light the rum, this may take a few seconds to get lit and the blue flames are hard to see in well lit areas.
Step 4: The Fun Part! Drop & Chug!
Now you drop the shot glass in and pound the drink quickly. If this drink is made and drank correctly, it Tastes Just like a ice cold Dr. Pepper!
Like I said before, I have no idea how this works. I imagine there are different beers that could be used to perfect the Dr. Pepper flavor. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

This was my all-time favorite drink years ago. The truth is, that the first one does NOT taste like Dr Pepper....................EVERYTHING after that does. hahaha

This question may seem a bit amateurish, but why the flame? Is it merely for the effect or does it do something magical to the flavor? Could one simply add all ingredients but skip the flames altogether, thereby avoiding the danger?

Flame caramelizes some of the 151, giving it a slightly sugary feel. It doesn't do much, but it makes it a bit more palatable.

It MAY concentrate the rum. You know, burn off some of the alcohol in the rum. Just a guess...
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
It would become less concentrated if you burnt the alcohol out of it...
It's just for aesthetics.

If the alcohol was being burned off, it would become more concentrated, as there would be less liquid with the same amount of whatever gives rum its flavor dissolved in it. The proof would get weaker, but the flavor would get stronger.

The 151 rum is not required to get the drink to taste like Dr Pepper. I've been making and drinking this shot for years and all you need is:
*beer
*amaretto
*coke
Drop the amaretto shot into the glass of beer and coke and chug away.
Excellent party shot and no worries about burning off your 'brows :)

Looks impressive, but I tried Dr. Pepper once. Why would you wish to emulate the taste?
Reply 15 years ago on Introduction
Because it is the all-time greatest beverage ever to have been conceived by mankind. In fact, legend has it that Dr. Pepper was actually an ancient and powerful drink of the gods, which was accidentally discovered thousands of years ago by Homer's lesser known but arguably more important cousin, Ed. Ed found the brew after Hades and Aphrodite had had a rousing game of celestial croquet, during which they consumed large quantities of this beverage. The bottle slipped from Hades' robe and fell to earth after he nearly fell off the heavens (THAT would have been a disaster!). Ed found the brew, and enjoyed it so much he spent the rest of his life attempting to recreate it, which he did. And Dr. Pepper was born.

Was Ed's last name Pepper, and was he a doctor? If so, a doctor of what?

This year Dr. Pepper announced that if the band Guns 'n' Roses release their long overdue album (somewhere like 10 years overdue) in 2008, then they will give a free can of Dr Pepper to evry american citizen excluding their technically british guitarist; slash. if you ask me id release an album for a can of Dr P so why shouldnt they!

Some people like Dr. Pepper.. and if you don't, this is still a pretty sweet party drink that is sure to impress a crowd.

The first and only time I tried Dr. Pepper was over 20 years ago, so I might be up to trying it again. Perhaps my tastes have changed. Perhaps if I tried your drink a few times, the taste probably wouldn't matter anyhoo...
