So I had a dream yesterday morning that I got out of bed and a friend of mine named Raj came and gave an alchoholic drink for St. Patricks day. The drink was interesting because it tasted just like apple pie in the dream. It was also one of those dreams that seem like they might be real, because the date and the tmie in the dream were about the same time that I would normally wake up. Anyway, I woke up and the idea of the drink was in the back of my head and I kept trying to think of how to mix it together. I was thinking of apple schnapps and cinnamon schnapps for the 'inside of the pie' and some sort of cream and amaretto mixture for the crust, given the slight nutty taste in the dream. Vodka goes good with almost any mixture, so I thoguht it would be a good addition.
I started looking around online and I find out that there is an actual drink called 'apple pie', that there was seven different official recipes for it and that two of the recipes combined had all of the ingredients I had imagined being in the drink. I also saw a 'flaming apple pie' that involved putting Bacardi 151 on top of it, lighting it on fire, blowing it out and taking the shot. I thought that would be a good addition and I also had the idea of mixing cinnamon-sugar together and throwing a dash of it in while the drink is aflame to give it sparks.
So I gathered all of these ingredients for my drink and mixed them. I got sour apple schnapps, cinnamon schnapps, vodka, some irish cream( the cheap imitation Baileys kind), Amaretto and Bacardi 151. The first time I tried just throwing them together, with the Bacardi 151 last to light it, I also decided on my first run to just put the cinnamon-sugar in the drink, since I didn't know how it would light and throwing it in could be dangerous. So I mixed it up, lit it on fire, blew it out and drank it. It was pretty good, except the Irish Cream started curtling and looked gross. I decided it would be best to not mix the cream in, but throw it in after the Bacardi was blown out to stop it from curtling. So I tried it a second time with the different way of mixing and it was quite delicious. I don;t knwo what to call it, but it's an aweseom drink, anyone who reads this and drinks should try it out:
Ingredients: 1 shot Apple Schnapps, 1/2 shot of Cinnamon Schnapps, 1/2 shot of Vodka, 1/2 shot of Amaretto, 1/2 shot of Irish Cream, Dash of Bacardi 151, three fungers full of cinnamon-sugar.
Mix all alchohol except Irish Cream and Bacardi together. Put Bacardi on top of the drink and light it quickly. Throw cinnamon-sugar in and let drink burn for approximately five seconds. Blow out and pour Irish Cream in. Drink quickly so Irish Cream does not curtle.
