There is NO substitute! However, if you DO have the regular Lemon Hart, you can use it in a pinch as a 151 substitute. It will give you a similar flavor, but not the same, uh... punch. Lemon Hart's regular & 151 are much closer in character than Bacardi regular & 151 are.(But be careful using the 151 in place of the regular - no quicker way to screw up a drink!) Swanky - did you try the Watson's demarara I saw you post in the "Tiki Finds" thread? I picked up a bottle the last time I was in the UK. It's actually pretty good and it came in handy when my Lemon Hart ran out! Hakalugi - you order yours?? Geez, HiTime is only a 45 minute drive away! They also carry it at Beverage Warehouse in Culver City, which is even closer...
