http://www.thefndc.com/ The Flame of Love is a Valentine’s Day themed cocktail, but has its roots with the Rat Pack. The drink was created at the Hollywood hangout, Chasen’s, in 1937 for Dean Martin. Later, Dean-o introduced buddy Frank Sinatra to this vodka martini variation and he loved it just as much.
A couple of notes about this drink: it takes a while to prepare it correctly, and it’s strong, easily a 10 on the alcohol scale.
Begin by taking a chilled wine or martini glass, swirl a small amount of sherry to coat the glass, and discard the rest. the original recipe says to flame 3 orange peels into the glass, but I say 8 is a better number, Once you’ve done that, shake and strain 2 oz of high quality vodka into the glass and garnish with a long orange twist. You might want to take some orange peel and rub it onto the rim of the glass as well. It will add to the aroma and therefore the flavor.
