Comments

Very nice Tiki drink. The notes should probably describe what a "flaming crouton" in a lime husk is. A flaming crouton is a crouton that has been placed in a lime husk, etc., and the crouton soaked in lemon extract (I used a dropper to saturate a crouton). The extract has an extremely high alcohol content, with lemon oil dissolved in it. When the crouton is lit it will have a blue glow from the alcohol close around the bread cube, but with a long yellow flame extending upward. The yellow flame is from the burning lemon oil. As a bonus, sprinkle some cinnamon powder over the flame to provide sparks.
