Spent lime shell, with alcohol soaked home-made crouton (4 dashes) (burned bright, lasted long, but smelled like burnt toast or charcoal at the end)

I can always tell when a bowl drink is being served at Smuggler's Cove to newbies. It starts with a delightful cinnamon toast smell (they sprinkle the cinnamon over the burning croutons for fireworks), then after a while it just smells like burnt toast. The flame will last quite some time before it starts smelling burnt, so the trick is just to blow it out at the moment it starts to smell too toasted. You'll still get several minutes of flame before that happens. If you don't want the residual smoke smell, you can simply remove the burning crouton with a pair of metal tongs (like you would use for ice) and drop the crouton in a glass of water or sink to put it out. Note that the flaming bowls at Smuggler's Cove are served in bowls with receptacles for the crouton, so the spent lime shell is unnecessary.
