Dark rum, Coco Lopez, pineapple and amaretto, blended, with a 151 float poured into the straw. Invented at CJ's in Ocean Beach in 1971.

Question 2

How strong is a Rocket Fuel?

Roughly 2.3 standard drinks, in something that tastes like a milkshake. That combination is the whole reputation.

Typically somewhere between $15 and $20, depending on the bar.

Question 4

Where do you get one?

Accepted Answer

Every bar the length of the island pours a version — CJ's, the Blue Whale, the Ice Palace, Cherry's. No two are quite the same.

What is an extra float?

Accepted Answer

A second pour of 151 on top. Log it and the tracker counts roughly three standard drinks instead of two.
