What spirits make up the ACID cocktail?

The ACID is a high-proof two-ingredient combination of Bacardi 151 overproof rum and Wild Turkey bourbon whiskey, resulting in approximately 45% ABV. The name reflects both the intense alcoholic strength and the bold, fiery character of the drink.

How is the ACID cocktail typically consumed?

The ACID is usually served as a shot given its high alcohol content and straightforward two-ingredient formula. Some bartenders serve it over ice to slightly temper the intensity, but it is most commonly consumed quickly as a shooter.

Is the ACID cocktail suitable for sipping?

At 45% ABV, the ACID is not designed for leisurely sipping—it is a bold, high-proof shooter intended for those who enjoy the raw heat of overproof spirits. The combination of Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey creates a sweet, oaky burn that whiskey enthusiasts may appreciate in small quantities.

Bacardi 151 rum and Wild Turkey bourbon meet in the ACID, a two-spirit shot built for potency rather than nuance. With no mixer to dilute it, the drink reaches roughly 45 percent alcohol by volume, among the strongest shots in common circulation. The overproof rum and high-proof bourbon together create an intense, undiluted hit that is meant to be downed quickly and followed by a chaser, typically cola or Dr Pepper, to soften the burn. Its character is defined almost entirely by raw spirit strength.

History & Origins

The ACID shot is a bar-culture creation with disputed origins, typical of the extreme-proof shooter trend that gained traction in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s. The combination of two high-proof spirits — Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey bourbon — was designed for maximum alcoholic impact rather than cocktail sophistication. No single credited inventor exists for this straightforward party shot.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense alcohol heat, with vanilla and caramel from the bourbon and a molasses note from the high-proof rum. Palate: A fiery, aggressive burn of raw spirit; the bourbon contributes oak and vanilla undertones beneath the overwhelming heat of the 151 rum. Finish: Long, searing, with lingering warmth and a faint sweetness.

Pro Tip

Have your Coke or Dr Pepper chaser poured and ready before you take the shot to immediately temper the high-proof burn.
