Bacardi 151
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bacardi 151, or "151" as it is sometimes called, is an exceptionally high-proof rum. The 151-proof liquor is approximately 75.5% alcohol by volume.
As with all beverages of this proof, consuming the rum by itself ("straight") is not recommended. Rather, it is typically used as a component in cocktails (whose final alcohol concentration may or may not be greater than that of drinks made with conventional rum).
An infamous drink using Bacardi 151 is the "Flaming Dr. Pepper", which is said to mimic the taste of the soft drink Dr Pepper despite being composed entirely of alcoholic beverages. The drink, perhaps more properly deemed a production, calls for ignition of the highly-flammable Bacardi, and as such has been banned as excessively dangerous from some bars and restaurants. Another famous drink is the 252 which is a shot made of equal parts Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey 101 (hence the "252".)
151 was a prominent ingredient in the unnamed drink that ZUG named The Worst Drink Ever[1]. The other ingredients were a dash of Grenadine and fire.
