Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a heat-resistant glass, combine the dark rum, coffee liqueur, honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Stir the mixture gently until the honey dissolves.
- Carefully ignite the mixture using a long-handled match or lighter, allowing the flames to dance atop the cocktail. Exercise caution and ensure a safe environment.
- Once the flames extinguish naturally or when you're ready, extinguish them using a metal lid or cover the glass with a heat-resistant coaster.
- Allow the queimada to cool for a few moments, infusing the flavors. Garnish the Queimada cocktail with a twist of orange peel, expressing the oils over the drink for an extra burst of aroma.
