I know it's probably extremely simple, but I'd like the measurements and the ingredients just the same. My favorite local bar/restaurant, the amazing Bleu Bistro on Broadway in Seattle (home to countless great but non-tiki drinks) WILL do fire, as evidenced by their wonderful Spanish Coffee, as beautiful to see in production as it is delicious. Of course, with no TV's in Bellevue any more, I'd love to ask one of their helpful tenders to make me one of these.

The ones I've had at TV's tend to be quite potent, so I imagine they're heavy on the liquor-to-water ratio. I've not tried Bleu's Hot Buttered Rum yet, but at most places this is 99% hot water, little flavor and little bite. The Black Stripe has always been flavorful to the last, strong and warming, and of course flaming (the skull mug helps - I bought my BF one to take to boring office meetings).

Anyone know the recipe, and the best sort of rum to use? I think Bleu has a fair selection, but probably nothing too unusual. I assume the fire is a 151 float, and it has spices (cinnamon stick, whole cloves...more?)
