Recipe for the milkshake
any one have it? if so please let me know.
shareYou ever had Sambuca? I love the stuff, but there's NO WAY I would ever mix it with any kind of dairy product...or even a non-dairy shake

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's just a regular (vanilla?) milkshake with Sambucca in it. So that would be ice cream, milk and Sambucca.

Take one Vanilla milkshake, add Sambuca, light on fire, repeat. That would be the easy part, the hard part is actually drinking it. Sambuca is Anise falvored, meaning it tastes like licorice. I personally abhor the taste of licorice. Sambuca is 80 proof (if I remember correctly, haven't tended bar for awhile now), which is high enough that it lights on fire quite easily by itself, but once you mix it with something non-flammable (in this case a dairy milkshake) you'll have to add quite a bit of the sambuca to ensure enough alchol is present to catch fire. Which means not only is it licorice flavoured, it's strongly flavored.
If you're dead set on trying this, I'd recommend a coffee flavoured milkshake. I say this as Sambuca is traditionally served as a shot with coffee beans. You chew the beans then take the shot, for most, this is the only tolerable way to drink it.
Some also pour the shot into their mouth, without swallowing and them have a friend light it in their mouth, let it burn for a short while, then close your mouth and swallow. Impresses the yokels without being all that dangerous, just be sure your face is wiped dry before lighting.
As far as flaming drinks go, I'd rather have a flaming Dr. Pepper. They actually taste good.
These recipes are right but the way to make it tasty and flaming is to put a floater on top. Make the shake to taste then put a half shot on top not mixed in, then light, works great.
shareOK, so if this Sambuca stuff tastes like licorice... What makes it different from Jager?
I have actually never heard of Sambuca, is this something that is available in the U.S.?

Superficially it's actually pretty similiar in taste to Jager. By superficial, I mean they both taste like licorice and if don't like Sambuca you'll hate Jagermeister and vice versa :) If you actually like the taste of licorice though, you'll swear they taste different. The reason for this is that Sambuca is specifically made from Anise to taste like Anise. Jagermeister is made from a secret blend of 56 herbs and spices. Alright, according to literate it's just "a special blend of 56 herbs," but I prefer proclaiming the KFC version better.
I think they taste the same, but I already proclaimed that I hate licorice. On the other hand I've heard some taste challenged people say Jack Daniels and Jim Beam taste the same and that 100 proof Southern Comfort tastes like cough syrup, so who am I to judge?
They taste very different indeed. That is not so weird when you consider the fact that they are two completely different kind of liqour.
Jägermeister, meaning hunt master is a German bitter liqueur. Dating from the seventh century it is made of a complex blend of 56 herbs, fruits and spices and should be served icy cold.
The label features a stags head with a cross because, according to legend, the drinks founder Hubertas, upon losing his wife, would go off into the woods alone to hunt and saw a magnificent stag with a floating cross between its antlers.
His vision moved him to change his life and gave all his material possesions away before founding several monastries and becoming the Patron Saint of Hunters.
Sambuca on the other hand is a dessert liquor deriving from Italy. The Luxardo family have been making their world famous liqueurs since 1821. Their Sambuca is an infusion of green Sicilian aniseed, plump Paduan elderberries and the purest grain alcohol. Luxardo Sambuca is rounded and smoothed by six months gentle maturation in Finnish wood vats.
You should serve Sambuca in a liqueur glass with three roasted coffee beans floating on top. Set it ablaze to provide the ideal conclusion to dinner in true flamboyant Italian style. Extinguish the flame and sip the warmed drink with pleasure.
Legend has it that three coffee beans are the symbol for romance.
Loved the movie by the way!

Sambuca Milkshake
- 5 oz Sambuca
- 6 oz Kahlua
- 1 cup(s) Whole Milk
- 2 1/2 oz Vodka
- 2 1/2 oz Rum
Directions/Comments : Add ingredients to blender (milk first), blend, warm in microwave (1 1/2 minutes), and let sit for 30 seconds. Don't chug it, savor it. Add bananas for thicker texture (optional).
I love the movie too, best of Renny Harlin. Alltho thats not saying much..
That's what I said above, but I'll restate the fact that if you have an aversion to licorice (which is quite common actually) they'll both taste the same = hideous. If you don't like it, you'll never drink enough of either to discern a difference in flavour.
Brand X: Sorry didn't answer you last question before. Sambuca and Jager are both availble in the US. I see Jager at every liquer store I've ever been too. I don't see Sambuca quite as often but it's by no means hard to find. You'll have to read the bottle to find sambuca (comes in a variety of brands and bottles), but Jager sticks out like a sour thumb. Extremely distinct rectangular bottle, Green Glass (or maybe the labeling just has lots of green on it, can't recall?) and a big picture of an stag head on it. Trust me, you really can't miss it. Romana Sambvca was the popular brand we served.
Yeah, I've had Jager several times, and it is very easy to find, here in California you can even buy it in the grocery store, But up until reading this thread, I had never even heard of Sambuca, I will have to try and hunt some down.

When I 1st saw this film and was watching the milkshake scene, the drink instantly reminded me of the "flaming homer" (a.k.a. "flaming moe) drink on the Simpsons.
shareId like to know the exact recipe for the falmeing Homer/Moe. Altough i don't think i'd drink it.
shareFord's Sambuca milkshake had Bacardi 151 on the top of it, which is 75% alcohol by volume and extremely flammable. Many flaming "Disco era" drinks were made with 151. The stuff is much more dangerous/flammable than high octane gasoline. Many city's outlawed bars using 151 for flaming drinks because of it's danger/flammability.
share1/2 cup of cold coffee
3 tablespoons of heavy cream
2 to 3 scoops of coffee of vanilla ice cream
3 shots of Sambuca
Top with whipped cream.
It's tasty. No need to light on fire.
