Unfortunately my camera isn’t good enough to catch the fire I wanted, and I wasn’t good enough to get the flames I was hoping for. But this is a short and easy drink that – honestly – I did drink, and did like quite a bit.
Tiare of “A Mountain of Crushed Ice” is a fan of demerara rum and is the goddess of amazing garnishes. I can’t match those, so I tried to take a lesson from Marshall and reverse what he does. First, the drink.
Tiare
1 1/4 ounce Lemon Hart 151
Ting
Ice
Pour the 151 over ice. Top with Ting. Stir. Top with an inverted lime shell with a snowball in the middle. Float 151 around the lime wedge and set on fire. You should probably blow out the flames before drinking.
Seriously where are the flames?
Yeah, you can’t see any flames there.
In frustration – the snowball I made out of ice in the freezer kept sinking the lime boat – I filled it with 151 and set it on fire and then, of course, the 151 float caught. And my not so good camera didn’t catch any of that, so in short, blame it and/or SOMEONE WHO DIDN’T COME OVER TO TAKE PICTURES.
Or really just blame me for having a crappy camera.
Still, it was a tasty drink, if nice and strong. And, honestly, rum + Ting – I think that’s all tiare.

Fun post SM;-) but can you explain the idea of the snowball? was the fire first supposed to be around it?
I have never yet tried LH with Ting, i haven`t had any LH 151 in a very long time, its seems to be gone from Europe..but as soon as i get my bottle i won at the TDN i will try this one but i think without snowball though..:-)

The snowball was because you are from Sweden, and the lime boat with snowball was supposed to float in a sea of fire.
Unfortunately I was also quite drunk by the time I pre-wrote that post (and thanks to Marshall for publishing it for me on Saturday when I was out of town); I blame the 151 in that drink!
Hahahaha…wow!
You certainly don`t lack creativity Sir!
