I tried my first Dark and Stormy while sailing in a race in Northport, Maine. Well, it was after the race. Not my cup of tea. The only drink I have regularly with rum is a Mojito. Mmmmmmm. I am a bourbon guy.
I've been Rum Dumb a few times but don't like it much. I'm a Bourbon kinda guy. I thought Rum was just a pirate thing. Apparently all sailors like rum. Learn something new here every day.

Whiskey is my poison of choice, preferably Glenmorangie 10yr or Bushmills 16yr. I don't drink much rum without coke and ice cubes in it... I guess aptain Morgan Spiced gold is my rum of choise so far, but feel free to recommend other brands.
4 parts pineapple juice
1 part orange juice
1 part coconut cream
as many parts of Pussers as you wish
over ice
dash of nutmeg

From living up in Maine for several years this time of year would be a 50/50 mix of Oakhurst Egg Nog and Captain Morgans...
I keep it simple with Captain and Diet, squeeze of lime. Only thing I sip straight is a good bourbon or scotch.
Here is one I've put together that is very popular with the female passengers - I call it a Juicy Fruit - Cruzan Banana Rum with Gingerale - tastes exactly like a stick of Juicy Fruit gum...
Mount Gay is the best I can get locally.
Cockspur, when my girl ordered it for Christmas.
Drank Cortez in Panama, liked it.
I'll have water before drinking any light rum, and I think Captain Morgan tastes like soda.
