Please see the articles, "Pecha Kucha Night" and "What's it like to present at Pecha Kucha Night?" if you are interested in further information on this event.

How do you make Pecha Kucha Night — which is already filled with live music, short films, artwork and buzzing with energy — better? Make a stellar drink, and name it after it. That is exactly how the PK Night drink came about.

Suleka Sun-Lindley, owner of Level Up Lounge, wanted to concoct a drink that represented the event well. The P stands for peppermint and the K stands for Kahlua, but the presentation is what really makes it stand out.

Kimmie Phan, the bartender at Level Up Lounge, has mastered the art of making the PK drink. The flaming glass, the shaking and the final pour catch the audience's attention and get them oohing and ahhing in anticipation.

It tastes slightly like an Andes mint but you needn't wait to drink one of these after dinner. It is quite delicious, creamy and goes down very smooth.

How is it made?

Bacardi 151 is poured into the martini glass and lit on fire. Kahlua is mixed with Peppermint Schnapps and milk shaken up and poured into the flaming glass.
