How to make:

As they do so, slowly POUR the contents of the two shot glasses into the flaming Martini glass.

Review:

Not recommended if you want to remember the rest of the evening and please be careful - alcohol and fire is a risky combination.

Literally the worst cocktail I ever made myself.
It starts unpleasantly sweet due to grenadine and gives space to a rum-anise tasting greyish slurry. And a lot of that slurry; that keeps coming up the straw at steady pace.
Hated every second of it!
Now, let's not forget the true victim of this cocktail: my bottle of green chartreuse, to which I will profundly apologise.

The rating at the top of the page tells the tale. A rating of 2 out of 5 means it's "pretty awful".

It was the "favourite drink" of a bunch of maverick share traders in London, known as "The Flaming Ferraris" after the drink. They gambled huge amounts of CSFB bank's cash until they got caught trying to manipulate the markets.
They crashed and burned at the beginning of 1999. The drink probably went out of fashion at that point.
