1

Start by making mulled wine in a pot on the stove.

2

For a half recipe, use 8 cups of red wine, 2 lemons sliced, 2 oranges sliced, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 4 cloves.

3

Warm the wine, citrus fruits, and spices on the stove for about 30 minutes, ensuring it does not boil to keep the alcohol intact.

4

Transfer the warm wine to a chafing dish to keep it warm with candles underneath.

5

Place a metal grate over the pot to hold the sugar cone.

6

Drench the sugar cone with 2 cups of dark rum, ensuring it is soaked thoroughly.

7

Use a match or lighter to ignite the sugar cone.

8

As the flame starts to die down, pour more rum on top of the sugar cone and continue igniting until the cone is completely melted and gone.
