Thanks, that's what I had hoped. As long as the LH 80º Demerara is still around, we can use it to make the cocktails that called for the 151º. They'll taste essentially the same - just minus a bit of "burn".

"...so there will minimal impact on the demerara flavor, which is what you are looking for as much as the 151 kick."

That's what I was thinking, when I mentioned adding 1/2 oz. of Cruzan's 151, to bring the total alcohol up to the same level as 1 oz. of LH 151º Demerara. I figured the taste of 1/2 oz. of Cruzan would nearly disappear, underneath the much more assertive Demerara. But, if one wished to avoid any extraneous flavors, while getting the alcohol amount back up, then about 1/3 ounce of Everclear would also do it.
Personally, if a recipe calls for 151 Demerara, I'll probably just sub the same amount of LH 80 for LH 151, and be done with it.
