Original Firecracker Recipe Information

Inventor was Rick Marsh (myself) during a Ocean Spray national promotion at the Sonesta Hotel in Portland Maine in the fall of 1982 (?) It was served in a tall, slender red collins glass with a long red straw that went through a plastic cap that fit over the opening of the glass. The basis for the drink was from a virgin version that I would drink while working behind the bar back in the 70's. I was the Beverage Director at the time and my boss asked all of the bartenders in the hotel to come up with a drink for the contest. Well no one did so at the last minute I had to come up with a reciepe! (Welcome to the hospitaility business) Well, I had about 26 bottles of 151 in inventory... and the rest is history. Needles to say we went through all of the 151 and most everyone the next day were taking kind of easy...
