Ordering a Blue Blazer at 83 Proof. A Blue Blazer is a cocktail made by filling two cups (metal) with hot water in one and whiskey in the other, lighting the whiskey on fire and then pouring the contents back and forth without extinguishing the flame. It takes some practice to get right, but the result is a long blue flame between the two cups as you pour. The drink itself is about what you'd expect... sort of like a hot toddy (he added lemon and a little sugar at the end).
