I'm boring - Captain and Coke. twist of lime mandatory.

In the summer I like pineapple juice and coconut rum. and mojitos...but they hit me a little too hard.

[ijack]

the only thing I drink with rum is a mojito

moscow mule - vodka, ginger beer, lime
margarita
paloma - tequila, grapefruit juice, squirt
champagne and guava
vodka/gin and guava nectar and a splash of soda

I don't really like rum. I can do mojitos, but most other things are too sweet for me.

I like gin (Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray 10) and tonics, and vodka tonics. I also love margaritas (rocks with salt).

Usually I drink wine or beer though.

I love a good margarita. But favorite rum drinks would be mojitos or caipirinhas.

I love making slush in summer--I prefer cranberry/vodka or brandy/lemonade, But I've had something like this and it's great. www.food.com/recipe/rum-slush-78813

It makes a big batch, so it's great for parties (or just to have on hand. I prefer sour soda to sweet.

If you have dark rum, definitely make a dark & stormy - such a great summer drink.

For rum? A Mai Tai, hands down!!

[mbcdefg]

Malibu Bay Breeze, but I'm guessing that you have regular rum.

I guess a rum and Coke, in that case.

Chambord and Sprite

I don't really care for rum.

I'm from Texas so margaritas!

For rum, I like rum punch or pina coladas but I only drink these on vacation for some reason.

I'm generally not a rum fan.

At home, I like a mandarin vodka with tonic and a lime.

Sometimes we do flavored margaritas in the blender with frozen fruit (not the syrup-y mixes).

Moscow Mule (don't make it with ginger ale instead of ginger beer; it's not the same)

Grasshopper

[dirtyred]

Ah, I see the Dark and Stormy is the rum version of the Moscow Mule.  I'll have to give it a try.

For rum, I do mojitos, daiquiris (real ones a la Hemingway), or dark and stormy.

My actual favorite cocktails all involve bourbon: old fashioned, mint julep, manhattan.

I also like a good classy margarita.

I don't really like gin, but if I use a very specific type, I really like gin, peach something (can be a liqueur or vodka or even peach nectar), ginger beer, and lime.

Is it cocktail time yet?

We have been drinking a lot of Sweet Tea Vodka lately... mixed with Lemonade, Raspberry Tea, Sweet Tea, Sprite etc. It is a very versatile drink!

I also had Panama Punch at Rainforest Cafe this week and it was delicious.
-A cool drink with Bacardi 151, Myers’s Original Dark Rum, Peach Schnapps and 99 Bananas Liqueur. Accented with Creme de Cassis and orange and pineapple juices. 

We also had Margarilla at Rainforest Cafe which is made with tequila.
-The Rainforest Cafe house specialty featuring Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila and orange sherbet.

I just like to drink coconut rum plain- usually about a shot's worth - maybe with an ice cube.

[peachdragon]

Captain and Coke. I had two tonight with pizza!
