Popular as a cure for hangovers,

Replace the vodka with tequila for a
Bloody Maria or leave out the spirits altogether for a Virgin Mary.

cinnamon sprinkles ready.
Step Three
Instruct guests to suck up the contents in the Martini glass as quickly as possible. Ensure that they do not put their faces directly over the glass. They must suck as soon the straw is in the flame otherwise the straw will melt.
Step Four
As the guest sucks through the straw, sprinkle cinnamon over the flame. This will create an even bigger flame. When the drink is just under halfway, pour in the shot ensuring that everything is drunk in one go. If it takes their breath away then you have been successful.

In 1947, John Martin of Heublin & Co, the then owner of Smirnoff, was pondering ways to encourage Americans to buy his vodka, when his friend, Jack Morgan of the Cock ‘n Bull Saloon, mentioned he had a large quantity of ginger beer. The resulting cocktail was their idea, which sold like crazy. Smirnoff even sold this mix in a copper coloured bottle of the same name.

Comment
The name of this drink means strained pineapple and was invented around the mid 1900s. For a tasty variation, add two scoops of ice cream to this recipe. Ensure you buy the coconut cream and not coconut milk as the latter has less flavour than the former. Coconut cream only lasts about two days after opening so try to serve these as the cocktail of the day.
