Fat Guy, that orange peel in the glass, is that the one that Dale flamed? I've been cutting oval shaped pieces of peel to flame and it seems that the peel in the picture would be difficult to flame.

You heat the peel to flash point, then bend the peel to extrude the oils and flame them. It is spectacular - though perhaps slightly overwrought to produce a breakfast drink.

Simon - you must try it with the homemade Falernum. The commercial stuff we've tried makes the drink way too sweet. The homemade stuff is much more bitter with lime zest and makes for a more sophisticated drink.

Yes, but even if it had alcohol in it it couldn't possibly have the same flavor as the homemade stuff. The primary flavor in the commercial version is lime juice, zest is not even listed in the ingredients. So, I really doubt they'd come out the same.
