Tito's vodka, like most vodkas, has an alcohol content of 40% or higher, making it highly flammable. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to work with various types of alcohol, including vodka.
Flammability is determined by the alcohol content in a beverage. The higher the alcohol content, the more flammable it becomes. Vodka, in general, is known for its high alcohol content, typically ranging from 40% to 50% ABV (alcohol by volume). This level of alcohol concentration is sufficient to ignite and sustain a clean, blue flame.
In my experience, I have witnessed the flammability of vodka firsthand. During a cocktail demonstration, I was preparing a flaming cocktail called a “Flaming B-52.” This particular drink required layering different spirits, including vodka, and then setting it on fire. As I lit the drink, the vodka instantly caught fire, producing an intense, vibrant flame.
It is important to note that while vodka is flammable, caution must be exercised when handling and using it in flammable situations. Safety should always be a top priority. When working with fire and alcohol, it is crucial to have fire safety precautions in place, such as a fire extinguisher nearby and a non-flammable surface for preparation.
To summarize, Tito's vodka, like most vodkas, is indeed flammable due to its high alcohol content. It is essential to handle and use flammable liquids responsibly and to prioritize safety at all times.
