Flatliner, A Layered Cocktail

Flatliners definitely aren't for beginners!
This layered cocktail can be lethal and is definitely an acquired taste with its characteristic after-burn. But as advocates will say, without the burn there is no Flatliner.
To make it you need:
- 1 part Tequila
- 1 part Sambuca
- Tabasco sauce
Tips
- Some bartenders suggest adding the Tabasco at the end. It will make its own way to middle.
- Have slices of lime on hand to suck to neutralise the burning sensation.
- Sambuca is available in white or dark varieties. The white is the more traditional and its flavour is mellower, more aniseed than the stonger liquorice taste of the darker variety.
