"Power" absinth shot

A fine way of drinking enough absinth in such a way as to hallucinate before you get too drunk to notice.

Ingredients:

Absinth
Tia Maria coffee liqueur.
Small shot glasses ( +- 25 ml )
Drinking straws, cut in half

Procedure:

1. Pour one third of a shot glass of Tia Maria.
2. Touch the edge of the glass with an inverted spoon and pour the absinth over it to create a seperate layer on top of the coffee liqueur. There should be 2 seperate layers of alcohol. Make sure the glass is full to the very brim.
3. Set the drink on fire using a cigarette lighter.

The idea is to drink it with the short straw after it has burned off some alcohol for about 1 minute, be patient. When it gets warm, insert the straw right to the bottom of the glass so that the sweet liqueur shoots down first, coating your throat.
The warm absinth follows, going straight to the head. With practise you will be able to drink these without blowing out the flame.
