Flame Blazer

Ingredients

1 oz extra dry vermouth
2 oz vodka
1 oz Campari® bitters
4 oz orange juice
2 oz cranberry juice
1/2 oz lemon cordial
1/2 oz absinthe herbal liqueur
1 oz Midori® melon liqueur
1 oz grenadine syrup

Directions

Pour the extra dry vermouth, 1-oz only of vodka, Campari bitters and 1-oz only of orange juice into a cocktail shaker with 5 ice cubes. Shake for 10 seconds. Add the remaining 3-oz of orange juice, 1-oz only of cranberry juice, lemon cordial and stir. Strain into a jug. Add the absinthe and ignite. Allow the flame to extinguish by itself.



Take the ice leftover from the cocktail shaker, place in a plastic bag, and crush with a blunt object like a hammer handle. Place back into the cocktail shaker, add the Midori melon liqueur, the remaining 1-oz of vodka and the remaining 1-oz of cranberry juice. Shake for 15 seconds.



Fill a highball glass half-way with the entire contents of the cocktail shaker. Add the mixture from the jug, and top with grenadine. Stir, garnish with a lemon slice and serve with a straw.
