What does BRULOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A flaming after-dinner coffee drink made by igniting brandy or other spirits with sugar and spices before mixing it into strong black coffee.
Brulot, often served as cafe brulot, is a New Orleans specialty traditionally prepared at the table in a special bowl, where the host sets fire to brandy flavoured with cloves, cinnamon and citrus peel before pouring hot coffee over the flame to extinguish it. The dramatic blue flame and spiced aroma make brulot a theatrical way to end a formal dinner. The word itself comes from French, where the same spelling originally described a fireship, a vessel deliberately set ablaze and sent against an enemy fleet, and only later came to name this flaming drink. Some older dictionaries also record brulot as a name for a small biting fly, a completely separate and now rare sense of the word.
