The Flaming Homer, also known as the Flaming Moe, is a cocktail drink accidentally invented by Homer Simpson.

Patty and Selma were visiting and showing the Simpsons slides of their holiday. Homer became bored with the slideshow and decided he needed a beer. Selma said that she had taken the last beer and Homer was forced to make something out of leftover alcoholic beverages.

Homer mixed several types of liquor together, and then, while not paying attention, he accidentally mixed in some Krusty's Non-Narkotik Kough Syrup. Homer had a taste and deemed the concoction to be acceptable, but not spectacular, and returned to the slideshow. After he sat down, Selma unknowingly dropped her cigarette ashes in Homer's drink, setting it on fire. Homer blew out the fire and discovered that the drink was much tastier.

Homer explained the recipe to Moe one evening, when he came in to Moe's Tavern for a drink and the bar was out of beer. Moe then quickly claimed the drink as his own, renaming it the "Flaming Moe", thus stealing the idea from Homer. The drink became extremely popular with locals and visitors alike, attracting a ton of new business based on nothing but the drink's addictive taste. Moe renamed his tavern for the drink, and his bar become "the place to be in Springfield" to the point where he was able to get Aerosmith to come in and play at the bar.
