Flaming Moe
The Flaming Moe is an accidentally created cocktail drink that was invented by Homer Simpson in Flaming Moe's.
When Patty and Selma are visiting to show the Simpsons slides of their holiday, becoming bored with the slideshow Homer decides he needs a beer. Patty explains that she took the last beer and Homer is forced to make something out of left-over alcoholic beverages.
After mixing several types of liquor together, while not paying attention he mixes in some Krusty-brand cough syrup and upon returning to the slideshow, Patty unknowingly drops her cigarette ashes in Homer's drink, setting it on fire. He blows out the fire and discovers the drink to be much more tasty.
Homer explains the recipe to Moe, who then claims the drink as his own, calling it a "Flaming Moe", stealing the idea from Homer who originally called it a "Flaming Homer". The drink becomes so popular with locals and visitors alike, Moe renames his tavern after it bringing in a ton of new business based on nothing but the drink's addictive taste.

The Flaming Moe's Song
(NOTE: The lines in brackets are sung in the background)
When the weight of the world has got you down
And you want to end your life,
Bills to pay, a dead-end job,
And problems with the wife.
But don't throw in the tow'l,
'Cuz there's a place right down the block...
Where you can drink your misery away...
At Flaming Moe's.... (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)
When liquor in a mug (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)
Can warm you like a hug. (Flaming Moe's...)
And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...
Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...
