I suppose its possible but I can't think of one oof the top of my head, lets see what the experts say - this could be interesting :)

Such a liquid does not exist. You can, however, prepare a mix of CCl4 and CS2. That mix burns at fairly low temperature, low enough to pour some of this on your hand and then ignite it. You can stand its temperature for a while, although not indefinitely.

 

A serious drawback of this combo is its extreme toxicity. CS2 is a strong nerve toxin, and CCl4 is highly carcinogenic and it kills your kidneys (and probably you as well). In the past this was used in some magicians shows, but that practice has been abondoned, because of the toxicity of this mix.

Another little "party trick" is to wet your hand, with a pool of water in the palm, pour a little methylated spirit on the pool of water and light it. If you dont use too much meth, it will burn off before the water becomes uncomfortably hot.
