151 Florida Bushwacker
A potent and creamy frozen cocktail that blends the tropical flavors of coconut and citrus with a serious kick of 151-proof rum, rounded out by rich chocolate and vanilla ice cream. This dessert-style drink is deceptively smooth despite its high alcohol content.
What it tastes like
This drink smells intensely of coconut and toasted cocoa with a sharp alcoholic vapor from the overproof rum. The flavor is defined by heavy cream, milk chocolate, and bright orange citrus notes that cut through the fat. The frozen texture is thick and smooth, ending with a persistent heat and sugary coating on the palate.
