Flaming Doctor Pepper

  4.7 – 16 reviews  

A shot of rum and amaretto liqueur are gently dropped into a glass of beer to create a Flaming Dr. Pepper. It tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper, but use caution because Bacardi 151 rum is 151 proof, which explains why it can catch fire!

Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 5 mins
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup beer
  2. 1 fluid ounce amaretto liqueur
  3. ¼ fluid ounce 151 proof rum

Instructions

  1. Fill a pint glass half full with beer.
  2. Pour amaretto into a standard shot glass; pour rum on top so that it floats.
  3. Light the shot on fire; carefully drop the lit shot into the half-full glass of beer and drink.

Tasted sweeter than a Dr Pepper. Had to use spiced rum 101 since 151 is no longer available. Fun drink for show.
Gabriel Wolf
it’s delicious! I would let the mixture cool off a few minutes before putting on ice cream. otherwise fantastic!
Karen Blackwell
Hubby did not like this at all. He said all he could taste was amaretto, and to him, it didn’t taste like Dr. Pepper. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I love these shots! So fun and tastes delicious. Don’t drink too many at once though, they hit you pretty fast!!
Vincent Nixon
These are AWESOME! I think they taste more like Dr. Pepper if you use root beer schnapps instead of the amaretto. Be careful of these. They go down so easily that you’ll get drunk QUICK LOL!
Christopher Watkins
Awesome! Lighting the shot in a darker spot lets you see the flame a lot better. Such a fun drink! If you have a narrow glass, you can do less beer if you like as long as the beer is deep enough to cover the shot. Thans for the recipe! Can’t wait to show this off to friends.

This is one of my favorite drinks to make and show off with my friends! LOL I have one friend who doesn’t like any of the ingredients individually, but loves this drink. Yummy!

As far as crazy shooters, this one is right up there and does the job pretty good…the Wifey has to be carfule how many she consumes lol.
Rachel Ryan
Love these! Had them for my 21st birthday (forever ago…) and as often as possible now.
Joseph Jacobson
Very good. Surprizing that this actually works together. I wouldn’t drink them all the time, but for shock value…..it was worth it.
Jack Dean
OMG, I totally forgot about these! I used to love them back in the day! Might have to give it a try again!!
Katie White
A long time favorite! Excellent flavor as opposed to some people who like using Root Beer schnapps or other silly concoctions. BLOW OUT THE FLAME BEFORE DRINKING! We’ve all seen the silly kid on the internet video!
Meghan Cantu
They really taste like Dr. Pepper!
Martin Daniels
This is a good recipe, but my version uses rootbeer schnapps instead of amaretto. Be careful, they are powerful. If you want to remember the party don’t drink more than two!!
Michelle Cortez
Yeah baby!!! This is a fun and tasty party drink. Goes down smooth and fast!! Neato pete-o!

If you love Dr. Pepper cola, you will love this drink. It is a big hit at the bar I go to. Be warned though…. It is not for the light drinker.
