Ask any sane person to take a shot of Bacardi 151 and the answer is no.
Ask somebody to take a rainbow delight and your odds increase
considerably. The rainbow delight is Bacardi 151 with a dash of
grenadine for color and whipped cream on top -- just to cover the fact that
this is a nasty-tasting drink with a terribly misleading name.
Why would anyone create such a drink? Several years ago,
shot books became a popular way to immortalize a birthday. A party guest orders birthday guy/girl a shot and takes a photo
of the birthday person doing the shot and records it in a book.
Having gone to several of these parties, I started looking for ways to
make the pictures funnier -- such as spending two seconds in advance
telling a bartender what a rainbow delight is and
what you plan on doing. Of the dozen or so bartenders I actually had
make rainbow delights, most of them got a kick out of it.
As for the birthday folks, not so much. But hey, they have wonderful photos of themselves grimacing on their birthdays.

If you like shot drinks, try the Mooseriver Hummer, created at the Grand Canyon. You take a shot glass and splash Peppermint Schnapps in the bottom. You fill it almost full with 151 rum. Then you float Galliano(?) on top. When you slam it back, you get the nice taste of the Galliano(?), the warmth of the rum, and finish off with the nice peppermint taste. Why Mooseriver Hummer? After two of these, you will be stumbling around, humming for moose. (Hey, the Canyon can be a really, really lonely place.)
