How do you take your rum?

Unfortunately rum makes me sick. If I have 2 or 3 rum runners or daquiris, I'm running to the bathroom.

I have to stick with vodka.

I like it with lemonade or fruit punch. We call the lemonade drink rumonade.

Lemonade? Really? White, amber or dark rum? And how much lemonade to how much rum?

Me, I'm a Demerara Rum (naturally) and Coke fan. Finished one off just a few minutes ago, actually. Might be time for another after I click "Submit".

Mmmmmmmmmm. Rum.

With coke and lots of lime, please.

You read my mind, bb! #2 down, time for #3.

(Not too much lime though, or it overpowers everything else and make it too sour.)

Hey - just noticed your location. I'm drinking Young's "Old Sam" - I know it's from Newfoundland, but I discovered it a few years back on Prince Edward Island. I guess it's fairly common down east? It's hard to find here but mighty tasty!

White rum and tonic is good.
Rum is very sweet, so tonic cuts through that sweetness a little.
I like it with a twist of lime, mostly for the aroma.

Never tried it, Demerara, but it's in all the stores out here. Ever have Barbadian Mount Gay or Cockspur? Very, very nice!

Ah yes, Mount Gay. One of my all-time faves. Haven't had any in a while. Used to drink Captain Morgan Spiced Rum back in the day, when we'd "sail with the captain". And I still remember the night a buddy and I found his dad's 151 proof rum. What a night that was. What a morning that was!

Rum is a harsh mistress.

350 ml of 151 Bacardi
640 ml of Pineapple juice
10 ml of coconut extract

shake as needed.

wonderful "hi, howwahyuh" litre bottle to carry in the lots during tailgating.

of course, that, and a 500ml of good sippin' tequila and you'd be amazed at how folks from Savannah end up thinkin' "you know, he's not such a bastard after all"

Coconut rum with this:

It's not just for breakfast anymore.....

At one time I only would drink the white rum, but I like also like it with the Captain. I have a friend who uses dark rum and a splash of coconut rum with lemonade.

I haven't tried that, but it sounds fantastic!

And I usually like my rum in a glass- with or without anything you want to mix it with, although Cruzan's Rum Cream is great in coffee or a glass, and Vanilla rum (the cheaper stuff's better- more sugar and flavoring to cover up the crappy rum) and Cream Soda taste like a butterscotch candy.

DARK rum: Lamb's Navy, Gosling's, even Captain M... with diet coke

Trinidad rum in Trinidad rum punches!!!! Preferably enjoyed on a beach in Tobago.

Brugal Dominican Republic rum straight up or with fruit juices or cola....

Yes, I like rum!

Lamb's Navy, Gosling's... Yes! I love the dark rums best. I got a bottle of Pusser's for my birthday last year, that was pretty sweet (and regrettably short lived)!
