How to flame an orange peel? Plus more Bar garnish Pointers!...

3/15/2018

 
Being in the hospitality industry, providing the best service to our clients is always on the top of our list. And as we know - details always count - even down to the garnishes at the bar. One may wonder - what is the correct way to prepare these?...

To Flame an Orange Peel
This is a technique that will require practice, but with patience, it will come to you. Remember, fire and alcohol can be a volatile combination so take care when flaming the peel.
  1. Hold the orange peel between your thumb and forefinger, with the peel facing away from you.
  2. Light a match or lighter, holding it about 2 inches from the peel and over the top of the cocktail glass (filled with your finished drink).
  3. Squeeze the peel sharply and watch as the oils spurt out, catch the flame, and create a small fireball over your cocktail.
  4. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the drink.

A Few Safety Tips
  • Do not play with fire if you've had too much to drink.
  • Make sure that flammable materials, including shirt sleeves and long hair, are clear of the flame (or potential flame).
  • Take extra care if your cocktail is topped with a high-proof liquor, especially 151-proof rum, which is often used for its ability to burn.
