MxMo LXXVI, August 19, 2013: Fire

[MuseOfDoom]

Apologies for the notice's delay, I had to get signed up here. But, if anyone would like to participate in August's MxMo, there's still a week left. This month's theme being Fire. Please post your entries here by the deadline, August 19th, and I'll be sure to include them in the round-up post.

From the announcement post:

Tiki-philes have their flaming spent lime shells and scorpion bowls. Classic cocktailers have the magic of a flamed orange zest. Molecular mixologists have their Smoking Guns. (and yes, frat boys have their flaming shots.) Even brunchtime drinkers have spicy Bloody Marys.

You don't have to go full Blue Blazer, not nearly -- heck, you could go full Fireball Whiskey! (or Fire Rock Pale Ale, etc..) You could riff on the Old Flame or come up with an inventive name of your own. You could even use a good firewater or burned wine. (and if you're grilling fruit, save some for me, will ya?)

In essence, bring the heat! Bring the Fire! Bring your inspiration!

On a serious note: remember that lass in Britain who lost her stomach because the mixologists weren't in control of the dangerous elements they were using in a cocktail? Let's have none of that here, huh? There's a lot more to Fire than just the electrochemical reactions happening on the end of a lit match. Stay safe and trust your gut about what you're comfortable doing. We're all here to have fun.

Here's are the details on how to participate:

• Find and/or develop a recipe that incorporates Fire, then post the recipe, including a photo and your remarks, on your blog or this thread.
• Include the MxMo logo in your post, plus links back to the Mixology Monday site, Feu de Vie, and the round-up post when that goes up.
• Post a link to your submission in the comment section of this post, tweet me @MuseOfDoom, or send an email to muse at museofdoom dot com with "MxMo" in the subject.
• Entries should be submitted by the end of Monday, August 19th*. Some late stragglers may also be accepted but no promises.

*I'm inclined to use the turn of Tuesday at the International Date Line for a final cut-off (7am EDT, to spare you a search engine hunt)

May the fires of inspiration be fruitful!

Hi Muse. Welcome.

Looking forward to what people cook up for this one. I have an idea or two kicking around that I might post later this week.

Thanks Rafa! Great to see you and I'm especially glad for you to come on board the MxMo partybus! I'm keen to know what you come up with.

The round-up was posted here. I wonder what will be the theme for the next MxMo...
