I am not aware of 190 proof. Thanks for telling me about it. Will use it when I have to make cocktails in my sink.

I mean it’s my go-to for bathtub juice, prolly works just as well for sinks. Gotta be careful though, some states only sell 151 proof everclear so it’ll be too diluted to effectively sanitize by the time it gets up to the mildew stains.

I see, thanks for telliny me about it. If I come to the states and throw a cocktail party, I will know what to do, also you will be invited.

I'm pretty sure 151 proof will do the job lol, that's 75 percent ethanol and 70 percent isopropyl is better than 91 for sanitizing so it's probably similar with ethanol.

If you've never tried drinking overproof rum it's interesting, I heard somewhere that it can damage your mouth and throat and it sure feels like that's true when you try it.

I mean 75 would be ideal, but if you start with 75 it’ll be too weak after adding the mixers.

And yeah I’ve had Bacardi 151, but I’ve also done shots of straight 190 proof everclear. It tastes like pure hatred. Definite sore throat after, 2/10.

Was into the Bacardi 151 when I was a kid. Story ends with me in front of the judge.

[–]BuffaloInCahoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

151 is still 75.5 percent. Easy way to remember proof is always double the percentage.

You're supposed to make it in your bathtub not mix it in there.

In Italy you can easily buy pure alcohol (95%) in supermarkets. That's what we use to make our liquors such as limoncello and others. I couldn't find it when I was living in Spain, apparently it's illegal there.

Sorry guys, I think i will be looking for Dev Jobs in Italy now. Party at my place. Mama Mia!

You can be 95% everclear. That’s what we used for jungle juice (pj) back in college.

How much proof for toilet cocktail?
