Default Adding Bacardi to the keg...

I did a search and didn't come up with anything, so I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there...

I'm a sucker for soda + liquor. I especially like Root beer & Rum, or Rum & Cokes.

I've kegged a few batches of root beer with great results and I am thinking of adding rum to my next batch and possibly trying some sort of cola, so I would have a mixed drink straight out of the tap.

Has anyone tried this yet? Would carbonating alcohol to the level of soda create any problems?





*if this is in the wrong area my apologies, I figured this was a general alcohol mixing questions.

Wouldn't the alcohol separate from the soda and float to the top of the keg? If you mix a drink and let it sit overnight they tend to separate and the hard alcohol floats to the surface.

The most recent beer I made has you add 400ml of bourbon to the keg. There's no concern of separation. Maybe some hard alcohols will separate, but I don't know if that's the case for all of them. I would think it would work.

The second one has a lot of folks chiming in. I have not read it in a while, but it is the one you are looking for perhaps.

Yeah, I make kegs of margaritas all the time during football season (making another batch this weekend). I have had no issue with seperation as long as it is mixed well to begin with, and pouring margarita off tap is allways a hit

A margarita isn't carbonated, would that make a difference?


I'm one step closer to an endless rum -n- coke !!
