Created by the genius behind PornBurger, the Flaming Hot Tequila Shot incorporates the food you loved as a kid into an adult-appropriate alcoholic beverage. Ahead of his first cookbook being released later this year, Mathew Ramsey concocted a variety of boozy drinks for Buzzfeed.
The Flaming Hot Tequila Shot is made with tequila as well as Flamin Hot Cheetos, lime and "sheet ambition." You can infuse the Cheetos with tequila by pouring the liquid over the crunchy snacks in a sealable container and let it sit for at least three hours before straining. You can also crush up more Cheetos into a powder to garnish the rim with. You also serve it with a lime wedge.
