How to Make the Mind Eraser – Best Drink Recipes

Serious Eats / Jeff Lucas

The Mind Eraser. Remember it? Or do you remember… a hazy headache and you couldn't remember? Despite its name this drink was actually relatively low in alcohol combining vodka coffee liqueur and soda. It probably wouldn't erase your memories unless you drank more than a few. But it's time to upgrade the Mind Eraser to give it more flavor—and a knockout punch.

When I was looking for a way to upgrade the original Mind Eraser the first thing to get the axe was the flavorless vodka. The question then became: what to replace the vodka? I needed a spirit that would pack a serious Tyson-esque punch. And the answer came like a bolt of lightning from Zeus: Rum 151. The most common and easy to find brand is Bacardi 151 but it’s definitely worth seeking out Lemon Hart 151 a demerara rum with a bold molasses caramel and dark fruit flavor.
