          Ingredients  
          Pink lemonade (must be pink of course!) from concentrate
Ginger beer (soft drink) *
Vodka
Grenadine

* Note: You may have difficulty finding ginger beer. It's a more potent version of ginger ale and has a stronger ginger bite to it. You may substitute ginger ale, but if you're adventurous, get some fresh ginger to puree and mix it in with the drink. You might also try powdered ginger, but I suspect that the flavor will not be as rich.

             
 
          Instructions  
          Take the pink concentrated lemonade and mix about half the water required. You want this to be stronger because it's going to be mixed with other liquids.

In a blender put one portion of pink lemonade mix, one portion of ginger beer, and another protion of vodka (or to taste.) Add a few ice cubes. Blend it up until ice is crushed. Pour into glass.

Take grenadine, and pour a SINGLE STRIP of it (going back and forth a couple of time) on the surface of the drink. This creates a red "flame" across the top. The "flame" of the drink is also produced by the bite of ginger.

You might have to adjust the ginger to taste... not everyone likes biting.
