We knew Rachel Maddow would know how to partaaaay!
Maddow (@maddow) invited a bartender friend to on her show to demonstrate how to make a classic, flammable holiday drink like a pro (with New York City Fire Department’s Explosives Unit and NBC’s pyrotechnicians on standby with fire extinguishers in case things got out of hand).
The drink looks delicious and hot, hot, hot — a Flaming Holiday Punch from The Handbook for Hosts from Esquire’s 1949 magazine. The drink contains rum (as any good alcoholic punch should), roasted oranges studded with cloves, apple cider, and brandy and FIRE!!!
That Rachel Maddow knows how to have a good time. We’d party with her any day (and she can bring her bartender friend… and the firemen)!
