Mmmhmm. The oil in orange peel is just flammable enough to catch for a moment when you spritz some into the air. A flaming garnish helps to create a more authentic, if delightful-smelling, dumpster fire vibe. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are a few tricks to getting this to work. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(1) Start with a nice, fresh orange, since fresher fruit contains a lot more oil. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(2) Cut a nice big piece of peel, and make it both thicker (by including some of the white pith) and rounder/less long than you usually would for a twist. This will make it easier to pinch between your thumb and forefinger.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(3) Hold the lit match a few inches above the filled glass, and hold the twist about two two inches above the match. Any closer and the twist itself may char.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(4) Quickly and sharply press the ends of the peel together with your thumb and forefinger. This action should express enough oil to ignite for a second. If not, keep practicing carefully until you get the hang of it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.saveur.com/how-to-flame-cocktail-twist/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003eWatch the video hereu003c/au003e, and practice, practice, practice — maybe over the sink. :) Or skip it — a regular twist is a better pairing with the flavors of this cocktail anyway.u003cbr/u003e
