Ok people, I need some help here. I just got a huge ass bottle of really good rum for my birthday and I need some ideas on what to mix it with. (I've already got the rum and coke thing down ) Any ideas?

So far I've found that Rum and strawberry-kiwi Crystal Light is fantastic!

Easy Rum Tiramisú

1/3 c. Sugar 2 Tbsp. water
2 Egg whites 3 Tbsp. dark rum
6 oz. light cream cheese, room temperature ½ c. Strong coffee
9 Lady fingers, split in halves
1 oz. Semisweet chocolate, finely chopped or grated

Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil uncovered 1 minute and remove from heat. Beat egg whites to soft peaks with an electric mixer. With machine running on medium speed, slowly pour hot sugar syrup into egg whites and continue beating until whites are stiff and glossy. Continue beating about 2 minutes, until mixture is cool. Beat in cream cheese 2 Tbsp. at a time at high speed until smooth. Combine coffee and rum in a bowl. Dip cut sides of half the ladyfingers into coffee mixture. Arrange rounded side up in a single layer in the bottom of a serving bowl. Spread with half the cheese mixture and sprinkle with half the chocolate.

Dip remaining ladyfingers in coffee mixture and arrange rounded side up over cheese layer. Drizzle any remaining coffee mixture over ladyfingers and spread with remaining cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 12 hours.


That or

Rum frozen strawberries and lemon juice can make a cheap daiquiri

Purple Reign

- 1 shot rum (preferablly white)
- 2 shots Blue Curacao
- fill rest of glass with cranberry juice
- crushed ice
- dash of lemon juice.

You can fiddle around with the rum-to-Blue_Curacao ratio until you get it to your liking.

one shot of rum
one cup of hot orange zinger tea
lemon twist
dash cinnamon
tsp. honey

will warm ur belly on these cccold winter nights

get silly

fill a high ball glass with crushed ice.
pour in some rum,
the juice of 2-4 limefruits + the limefruits themselves (chopped).
add some syrup of sugar and stir it

voila!!
it's a caipirinha. i love this drink.

if you want a "fidel castro" you can use ginger ale instead of the sugar and use less lime. it's not as fantastic but still very good.

try it with Vanilla Coke or with a little bit of egg nog.both are yummy

Yes! A shot in Egg Nog is fabulous (or a must)

Just pour some diet coke over it with ice.

Why drinks have to have 50 flavors with an electric propellor sticking out of the glass I'll never understand.

Dip some very large strawberries in chocolate and then get a hypodermic needle and inject them with the rum (at the stem) yuuummm

That sounds fantastic - off to get some strawberries (and maybe a needle) right now

Thanks applekisses!

You could make a trifle with it. Soak the cake bit at the bottom in it.

Or you could use it to clean your windows.

Make a mudslide.

Captain Morgans Spiced Rum & Coke with a lime. Accept no substitutions.

Add it to fruitcake.

There is also a recipie for grashopper pie, which is basically a chocolate crust with a mint green filling, but rum is in the recipie.

if you look online you will find it. its quite good.

Pina` Coladas use Rum
as do Daquiris.

Look at the TGI Fridays site, I believe they have a drink recipie for a Rum Runner, which is good too.

I have to add...back in the day, when I just got out of high school. Bacardi Rum and Coke...

mix it with morphine and skull shots...long story

take a really big bowl...pour in all the rum...add 1 large bottle fruit punch...1 can frozen orange juice and 1 can pink lemonade concentrate (do not add the water) and a large bottle of cranberry juice...slice lemons and limes and add to bowl...grab a glass (or straw) and dig in...got this recipe from a bartender friend in jamaica...yummm


oh...and p.s- Dre...if you are ever (and i mean EVER) lookin' for a drinkin' partner, gimme a call

I don't even wanna know what you do with Windex...

If it's truly a good rum, you should make a Mojito! It's my favorite rum drink.

1 shot of rum
half a teaspoon sugar
juice of half a lime
sprigs of mint- crush the stalks to release essential oils

Add all the ingredients to a highball glass, fill with ice, top off with soda water and garnish w/additional mint leaves and/or even a sliver of a stock of sugar cane (my favorite, cause it doubles as a stir stick, and you can chew on the yummy rum-soaked sweetness)

edit, schmedit...
