If you want good rum it won't be mixed with anything. Budget?

Actually never mind budget just get the El Dorado 12 year currently going for £38 on Amazon. Think I recommended to @Gessa a while back, for price it's really good. I've spent more and had worse.

You did mate and very nice it is too. As you say though, waste of money if you're going to add a mixer.
Father in law drinks Woods Old Navy and adds Shrub, which is an alcoholic cordial,makes it sweet though, 2 parts rum to one part shrub.
Turtle Bay serve their rum platters with a still fiery ginger beer, I don't add it to the rum but the ginger beer is lovely.

Need a budget one as well though as rum goes in mulled cider.

I probs shouldn't be chucking El Dorado into a mulled cider, right?

Something like Rumbullion, which is a spiced rum should do the trick, about £20 a bottle

Yeah don't do that. Get the El Dorado to sip and The Plantation Original Dark for mixing and it's decent enough straight aswell.

Well yeah that's why I'd never buy a properly decent one to drink in that way. Can still taste the difference in a 30-40 quid bottle compared to a 20 quid one though, especially if only a splash. I normally do a tumbler about 2/3rd full with a couple of ice cubes n then a dash of mixer.

Like I say I can have one neat but no more than that unfortunately as it doesn't end well for me. Agree that I wouldn't have ice when having it that way.

I sometimes have a second but you're right and you have to respect the rum or it'll **** you up.

Probably the most memorable one I've seen so far. I knew as soon has I saw the Tesco ad, it would have parents saying noooo, don't tell the kids that! That's what's so funny about it.

Righto @luvgonzo & @Libby , I'm going to get me a festive Rum.

This will he for me, no other ****er will go near it. I'm not going to spend daft money, but it needs to be good.

What should I buy? And what should I mix it with?

I was given a bottle of Ron Zacapa XO last year and have bought a few bottles since as I liked it so much
