Audience Participation Needed

Hello all. So it's Friday. And the weekend approaches. And I have set aside tomorrow for junk store surfing in hopes of finding a lot of neat looking objects that I may bodge together and create a lamp. But this isn't about junk store finds (though tomorrow's post may be...) but rather on one of my favorite topics - fire. Last night at a local restaurant I saw that these find restaurateurs offered an alcoholic beverage that comes lit on fire. I, probably using my good judgment as opposed to my normal horrible judgment, opted for rum drinks with lychees and a most disturbing nuclear green martini called the kermitini (see? see why I ordered it? why do I do so many, many things based on their novelty factor?). But I'm stuck on the idea of flaming drinks. I plan to pursue this further with a little help from my old pal google, but in the mean time, does anyone have a good recipe for a drink that can be lit on fire? I suppose the main point would be to include something of a high enough proof to cut through any additional liquid, but I, selfishly enough, would also like it to be reasonably palatable. So I throw open the doors of suggestion to you, my poor readers. Thoughts?

N.B. I would like to survive this endeavor with my liver intact, so please be kind.
