    Tequila Blue Blazer

    You'll have to juggle with flames to gulp this down. More than the drink, the presentation is what makes it a bit dangerous. In one metal pitcher, Reposado tequila and mezcal are combined. In another pitcher, some boiling water is added. The tequila pitcher is then lit, until the alcohol catches on fire. It is then poured into the boiling water pitcher and passed back and forth until thoroughly combined and then served after putting out the fire.
