There is only one thing that could turn around my bright white and colorful summer posts and that’s the tiniest sign that winter is coming. That’s right today’s post is in honor of the Game of Thrones’ season premiere this weekend! Game of Thrones is one of B & mine’s favorite shows. This weekend we’ll be skipping our typical Sunday pizza night and pulling out all the stops for a Game of Thrones viewing party. Which will include this show stopping melon martini called Wildfire!
If you’re familiar with the show (and if not, look away because spoilers) Wildfire is an explosive green liquid that is used in two seriously major events in the TV story. One when Tyrion wins the Battle of the Blackwater and it shows up again, where we left off last season, with Cersei using it to burn the Great Sept of Baelor. So I knew if I was going to make an electric green cocktail for Game of Thrones, I had to set it on fire. So grab your best heat proof glassware, we’re getting you’re Game of Thrones party lit.

This cocktail is simple to make but potent to boot. All it is is Midori (any other green colored melon liqueur), watermelon vodka, and regular vodka. You give that a good hard shake with ice and pour into a heat resistant coupe or martini glass if you plan to light it on fire. If not any coupe or martini glass will work.
HOW TO LIGHT WILDFIRE ON FIRE
Warning Bacardi 151 is highly flammable. Please use caution while making this cocktail and make it in a safe environment. Elle Talk is not held liable for fires, burns, or other actions.
After pouring your cocktail into your coupe you’ll want to gently turn over a bar spoon placing it up against the inside of the glass above the liquid line. Carefully pour 1/4 ounce of Bacardi 151 on top of the spoon. Let it slowly layer over the top of the cocktail. Seal up your 151 and put it back in your liquor cabinet and wipe away any Bacardi 151 spills/drips from your working area. Then with a long stick lighter (a grill lighter) you’ll catch a flame. Let the flame from the lighter just hover over the cocktail until the Bacardi 151 catches fire. Let the fire burn out or blow out when ready to consume. Let the glass cool before drinking from it or use a straw to sip on the cocktail after the fire has been blown out!

- 1 ounce Midori (or Any Melon Liqueur)
- 0.5 ounce Watermelon Vodka
- 1 ounce Vodka
- 0.25 ounce Simple Syrup (optional for a sweeter cocktail)
- 0.25 ounce Bacardi 151
- Ice
In a shaker add your Midori, watermelon vodka, and plain vodka. Fill the shaker with ice to the liquid line. Give it a 30 second hard shake and strain into a heatproof coupe or martini glass (or any small heat proof glass) to serve.
After you've poured your cocktail into your heat proof coupe flip over the back of a bar spoon and slowly layer your Bacardi 151 on top of the cocktail. Putting away your 151 and clean up any drips/spill, taking a stick lighter, carefully light your cocktail by hover the flame just above the liquid surface. Once it lights, let the cocktail burn out or blow it out when ready to consume.
BE CAREFUL the glassware and top layer of the cocktail will be very hot. Let it cool down before consuming the drinking. Use a straw to sip cocktail from the bottom up if you don't want to wait for it to cool all the way down.

Fantastic idea for my GOT party in April
Looks fantastic! What kind of glasses are you using? I’m having a hard time finding heat resistant champagne coupes.
Hello David,
I bought these from a local liquor store, but they don’t seem to have a branding on them.
In the past others have used whiskey glasses to make this cocktail when not able to find head safe coupes.
This glass pours 6oz so any 6-8oz glass will work.
