Jim's 151 Rum and Coke
Last revised 6/16/2019

About 2 minutes to prepare.

I am a big fan of 151 proof rum and was shocked when Bacardi was forced to stop selling their brand in the States. Fortunately there are many alternatives.

Bacardi (if you can still find some), Mohawk, Hana Bay, and Trader Vics all make an excellent 151 proof rum. I have tried some others but they did not make my list.

Note: Make these carefully and nowhere near an open flame. You have been warned.


 1 shot of 151 proof rum       (Mohawk is available at Spec's Liquor stores)

 1 shot of club soda

 Coke Classic                  (I use the decaffeinated version of this)

 Limes, cut into wedges        (not optional)

In a rocks glass full of ice add the rum and club soda. Fill with Coke. Squeeze and drop in AT LEAST one lime wedge. More is better. If you try to drink this without the lime I guarantee it will taste worse than gasoline.
