How to make:

Select a Boston & shot glass.
LAYER ingredients by carefully pouring into shot glass in the order listed.
IGNITE absinthe and hold pint glass upside down a few inches above the flame.
Instruct your guest to suck the alcohol vapour from the inverted pint glass using a straw.
Finally, remove the pint glass to allow the guest to consume the drink through the straw.

Review:

Killjoys would point out the dangers of fire and alcohol and observe that this is hardly 'responsible drinking'. They're right! Please be careful when igniting alcohol and be aware that it burns with an almost invisible blue flame.
