Last Friday night, I tried out the grape Jolly Ranchers Vodka; in fact, a few of us did. We all came to the same conclusion: It’s not bad at all, but it also tastes like cough syrup; verily, something was missing.

Instantly, I knew what I had to do.

Thinking of the color and the taste, I began channeling Homer Simpson. I poured some of this “purple drank” into a mug, then I topped it off with a little bit of overproof liquor. Immediately thereafter, I set it on fire. And much like Homer Simpson, “I don’t know the scientific explanation, but fire made it good.”

If you’re unfamiliar with flammable drinks, you’re supposed to blow out the fire, and make sure it’s out before you ingest the beverage. Otherwise, you run the risk of ending up like these guys:
