Once the water-and-honey mix and the whiskey are ready, pour each into a mixing container. Make certain there is some fire-resistant covering over the mixing area before having someone ignite the whiskey with a long fireplace match. Dim the lights, and begin "mixing" the Blazer by pouring each container into the other, until the flame burns out. Portion each drink into two thick cut-glass tumblers that won't crack from the Blazer's heat. Drop a sugar cube into the drink, followed by a lemon zest. Let the Blazer cool slightly before drinking.

Flaming the Blue Blazer is for show, not added taste. For a shortcut, follow the above instructions, but don't ignite the concoction or dim the lights.
