DonQ 151 Rum 151 rum is also good for mixing. It adds an extra kick to cocktails that might otherwise call for regular 80 proof rum. Try it in the Tiki Bowl for 2.DonQ 151 Rum provided by brand representatives. All photos, recipes, comments and opinions are my own unless otherwise stated.

The Tiki Bowl cocktail was originally created by Victor Bergon. The original recipe calls for one ounce each light Puerto Rican rum and dark Jamaica rum. I’ve changed the ratios to adapt to the strength of the DonQ 151 rum. This recipe also calls for a gardenia garnish. I don’t have any of those lying around, so I used an orange wedge.
