**nineiron** , I hate to tell you this, but if you add a floater of Bacardi 151, you have come up with a pre-existing receipe for a Flaming Dr. Pepper.

Oh, Flaming Dr. Pepper! I had this once when I was at a bar in Austin, TX. The bartenders flip bottles around and blew fire. Whooo! Anyway, I tried to re-create it once at a friends house where instead of 151 all he had was a vile substance called “Overproof Rum”. I figured it would be flammable. It wasn’t. I also assumed it would taste good. Yak yak.

I think I had to shave my tongue after that.

Is 151 not a vile enough substance?

Tequila is worse.

My hat is now in the ring.
