Yesterday, I had a couple of glasses of the rum I bought last week in Cuba. It has been a while since I last had a rum cocktail of any kind.
Generally, whenever I had rum, it was in the old standby: rum and Coca-Cola. For some reason, rum mixes best with Coke and not with Pepsi or any other colas. This was how I drank the rum yesterday. It was nice and smooth. And, refeshing!
Back in the 1970s, we had a running joke in our political circles that you'd find rum drinkers in the South Bay area of Los Angeles in the city of Lomita. I don't know if that is still true or not, but it seemed to be the case back then (I did some bartending at different political functions in those days).
According to Wikihow.com, they came up with four ways to serve rum. They begin with:
Rum is a liquor distilled from sugar cane juice or its molasses byproduct. It is aged in casks of steel, oak, or charred oak to create light, gold, or dark rum, respectively. Commonly sourced from the Caribbean and Latin America, rum is a very versatile liquor that lends itself to a wide variety of beverages as well as being enjoyed on its own. There are many ways that this liquor can be served, so try a few to find your favorite.
