A Hot Toddy with a Fiery Twist

Preheat 2 glass mugs with boiling water, discarding water before adding the cocktail. Clear all flammable materials from mixing area. Lay down a damp towel or two to soak up potential spills. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand. Add the sugar, scotch and boiling water into one of the mugs, and carefully ignite with a match. Very carefully, pour the flaming liquid back and forth from mug to mug, about 5 times. Divide the drink evenly between the two mugs and extinguish the flames. Garnish each mug with a lemon twist.
