Okay I looked up that it is rum ... does anyone have suggestions as to which rum is best?
Ask any 100 people and you're likely to get at least 80 answers. When I drank, I always preferred Puerto Rican rums, i.e. Baccardi. Some people swear by Captain Morgan, while I usually just swore AT it.
Forbes has a list of 10 Remarkable Rums, but I wouldn't use any of these to make mijitos, Cuba Libres, or any other mixed drink. These rums were made to be savored naturally.
