How to Make Combustible Edison

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add 2 ounces of Campari and 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
  3. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously until well-chilled (about 15 seconds).
  4. Strain the Campari and lemon juice mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1 ounce of brandy over low heat until warmed through (do not boil).
  6. Carefully ignite the warmed brandy (using a long match or lighter). *Alternatively, skip this step for a delicious Edisonian cocktail.*
  7. If igniting, slowly pour the flaming brandy in a steady stream into the prepared cocktail glass.
  8. Enjoy responsibly!
