'Lighter Fluid' cocktail

electrogrimey · 2010-05-05 14:39:37

I want ideas for a 'lighter fluid' cocktail. Basically, I'm running a night in a bar based around Withnail & I, in which he drinks lighter fluid, so I'd like to have a cocktail called 'lighter fluid'. I'm thinking it should be white, and maybe you set it on fire before serving? Anyone have any ideas, or even a cocktail…

I'm guessing 7up and vodka/gin/rum or something.

Suggestions would great

If it is standard strength spirits @40% then if it is diluted with mixers it will not burn. Also it sickens me to see people waste expensive alcohol by burning it off!

Sambuca can be set on fire and it's clear so it could pass for lighter fluid.

That's a really good idea actually, I love Withnail and I.
