I think the Blue Blazer problem is soluble.

I tried the Blue Blazer again, and it lit and poured just fine, so it's repeatable. And I made it with honey instead of sugar, and added a few dashes of Fee Brothers Orange bitters, and Angustora bitters.

I think, next time, I'm going to skip the Angustora, but it is really getting there. A MUCH better drink this time.

I'm also going to try Turbinado or Demerara sugar, too. That's what David Wondrich uses.

You really must show me this thing sometime. It sounds so cool.

It needs to be done in dim light, but the amount of light we had today, with the complete overcast and rain, was dark enough to show it. So, if it's dark and rainy, and you need a hot drink, phone me up and see if I'm home.
