Answer 5

A dark soda! Coke works for all types of rum. Pepsi or mr pips or dr pepper also works.  I think even a birch beer, sasparilla, or root beer would be good too, although coke seems to be the main rum ingredient.

You can also experiment with fruit flavors. I have successfully light rums with orange juice, pineapple juice, and mixes of other tropical fruits.  Fruit punch works fantastic for rum, as does orange juice since most hurricane recipies uses one or both ingredients.  

I've also went as far as to mix a custom iced tea with rum, vodka, whiskey, and flavors to blend.  :P But then again I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to finding flavors to work for my tastebuds. I definately reccomend coke or pepsi, then tropical fruit flavors. even a sprite/seven-up/vault/mountain dew base would work. add in the minute maid and tropicana beverages too. lol.

Answer 6
