I bought some 151 Rum to use in a flaming drink and now I see all sorts of warnings on the label regarding how flammable it is. Not sure I want it in my pantry. Can it be put in the refrigerator? I've never bought it before!

I think the flammable warnings are because fire breathers use this, and it is one of those drinks people like to light on fire.

I don't think it's necessary to store it any differently than any other alcohol, unless you plan on putting a burning candle in your pantry or something silly like that.

Used to be one of my favorite alcohols to get the night moving quicker. 1 1/2 oz of that stuff is like 2 1/4 shots of 100 proof alcohol (or something like that). Wheeee!!!

Thanks, Huk! I was thinking, it can't 'that' flammable if they keep it on store shelves. My moment of panic is passing.:-) Don't think I'll be doing shots with it or fire breathing <although, you never know > I found a really cool recipe that you soak lemons in it, then dip into granulated sugar, ignite until the sugar barely caramelizes. Let it cool and suck the lemon. All shots optional!

Mmm, 151... I have some really good memories of drinking 151.

And I have some really nasty memories of having to make mushroom soup from scratch at six am. after drinking 151 all night the evening before... Ugh, the smell of mushrooms simmering, when you're so hungover you think you're gonna die... I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Kstme don't feel bad. We brought some, um, stuff back from Kentucky. It was all packed up in a box with tons and tons of newspaper around it. What does hubby do? Unpack it, sit it on the counter. DUH we have cats honey. And I'm a clutz. And after all the warnings to not drop it or let it bang against anything in the trunk, I was scared to death.

I can barely even think of 151 rum without puking my guts out. Quite a few years ago in Bigdog's and my puppyhood, we drank some 151 as though it were regular rum. Oh my, you talk about blind drunk.

Twinkie, I would think the lemon slices could be done without alcohol. Soak them in lime juice and dredge in the sugar. Then use a chef's torch to caramelize.

OMG! You guys crack me up! Serate, that's the way I was feeling about this bottle. The warning labels are through the roof!

Juju and Karen, I PROMISE NOT to drink the stuff straight! Remember when Everclear was a big thing? Never tried it and knew I didn't want to! I, primarily, purchased this to make a special drink for my dd's best friend who turns 30 next month. She'll probably stop at the lemons! haha

Ya, Juju, I resemble that remark too. 151 was the drink to guzzle in college. At least I've been told, if you do it right you don't really remember and I sort of kind of don't LOL. Wicked stuff.
