I've always drank floated drinks from the top without a straw, but now that I'm trying some of these tiki drink recipes calling for a 151 float, I'm thinking I may have been doing it wrong all this time! Sometimes, I've wondered the same thing. It seems that most of the tiki drinks with a float have a straw skewered through them. So, I'd gather that you drink from the bottom and wait for the rum float to get you in the end. Then, there's always someone that sees that float and garnish and stomps them to the bottom of their glass as if they were Godzilla. I bent a soup spoon (wife was not pleased) into a shape that I can place over the glass and let the booze drizzle over the convex side of the spoon.
