Be sure to clear the table of all flammable materials before starting.
Combine the scotch, sugar, and boiling water into one of your mugs. Ignite it with a match.
Pour the flaming cocktail into the other mug. Repeat this process 5 more times.

Extinguish the flames. To do this, you can cover each mug with the other until the fire dies out.
You can garnish it with a lemon twist.
Recipe Note
Be careful not to burn your house down with this flaming drink! Use a damp rag or towel to soak up potential alcohol spills on the table. This is important because these spills can ignite and start a fire. To add extra protection, you can also keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
