❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Flaming Doctor Pepper Drink
1. Is the flaming doctor pepper drink safe to make at home?
Yes, as long as you use a heatproof mug and keep flammable items away. Light the sugar cube carefully and blow it out before drinking. Never drink the liquid while it is still flaming.
2. Can I make this drink without alcohol?
You can skip the rum and use a non alcoholic rum substitute or just warm Dr Pepper with spices. The flame requires overproof rum to work, so you will not get the flame without it.
3. What kind of rum works best for the flame?
Use overproof rum that is 151 proof or higher. Regular rum will not ignite easily. Dark rum adds the best flavor to the drink itself.
4. How long does the flame last?
The flame usually burns for about 10 to 15 seconds on the sugar cube. Blow it out before it burns too long or before you take a sip.
5. Can I make this drink for a crowd?
Yes, you can multiply the ingredients and warm the Dr Pepper mixture in a large pot. Then pour individual servings and add the flaming sugar cube to each mug right before serving.
