Vodka Martini
1.5 fl. oz. of Vodka
0.5 fl. oz. of Dry Vermouth
I tried to get the cocktail to burn to add some interest to the image but the alcohol content wasn't high enough, so I drunk most of it (very tasty ;-) then added some Stroh Rum which has a VERY high percentage of alcohol.
Post challenge:
What a bumpy up and down ride this week was, scorewise. It only settled down these last two days. Thanks so much for the super score and comments.
The making of this image was extremely difficult because my husband was practically super-glued to my side worrying that I’d burn down the kitchen. He stood next to me the whole time with a damp dishcloth in one hand and a pan lid in the other in case the flames either went too high or the glass exploded and the kitchen went on fire. I couldn’t do as many photos as I’d planned on doing because I couldn’t concentrate with him breathing down my neck, so I checked the few I had and picked the best one.
There were a few didn’t like the glass being tilted. It wasn’t intentional, although I preferred the slight tilt. It’s one of the glasses I used in this image and they have sort of squigly tilted stems
Update for Leo FocusPoint. I got my wonderful dpc hat yesterday (thank you VERY much), I’ll post a photo of me wearing it as soon as I can.

Hi, I just saw this photo for the first time, maybe someone else gave you this comment, haven't checked, but down in the glass, it looks like a sunset and the aurora borealis, maybe even a city in the very bottom. I love the inner story.
Oooooooh. . .how COOL! I'm really surprised this one didn't chalk up another ribbon for you :) But 4th place is an awesome reward for this beautiful photo.
Congratulations on 4th Irene! When I was looking around for ideas, one of the things I most wanted to do was the flame in the glass shot. I tried once and immediately gave up for the same fears as your husband, lol!
You always amaze me with your ability to come up with something new, with the wonderful IreneM stamp of approval and excellence. I so admire what you do and how you do it.....
You are one in a million, and I am proud to be one of your DPC friends.
Great timing on the flame..The blue background works and provides good contrast to the image. The slight tilt improves composition as well. And finally, with the limitations imposed for its editing, i say this is entry is nicely done!
great shot, and so sharp. just to be nit picky, the slight tilt bugs me though. its like it should either be at an angle or horizontal, not slightly tilted u know?
This is a good shot. The lighting is good and the flame added points to what it has deserved. However I found the tilted glass distracting. I wonder why you didn't have this fixed, unless it's tilted purposely.
