1
In an Old Fashioned glass or other bucket style glass (snifters or wine glasses are nice too because they capture the aroma of the burnt orange oil), combine the tequila and egg nog and stir well.
-
2
Cut a half dollar-sized twist of orange peel just deep enough to not include any pith.
-
3
Light a match, and hold the twist over the glass with two fingers, pointing the rind side at the surface of the drink.
-
4
Place the burning match between the twist and the drink and squeeze the drink, sending the oils through the flame and onto the surface of the glass.
-

(Be careful not to burn yourself, but make sure you see the oils ignite as they spray.)
-
6
Drop the twist in the glass and serve.
-
7
(This can also be served on the rocks, but donat let it dilute too much or youall ruin the rich, creamy texture.)
