The secret to a good thirst quenching rum drink in very hot humid weather/climates is to avoid sugar. A tall Mojito, light sugar, is okay. Cuba Libre with Diet Coke tastes remarkably good and fights thirst in a tall glass with plenty of ice. Dont spare the lime! My favorite is rum and plain grapefruit juice. The bitterness of the juice and relative lack of sugar cuts the summer phlegm nicely and tickles the taste buds. Stick with a dry white rum. Dark rums are for winter drinks. Planters Punch, hot buttered rum, etc.

I know I'm a heathen, but I've always loved Pina Coladas in the summer.
A mojito would definitely be my rum drink of choice in the summer.
Mojitos. Enjoying one now and they can't be beat in my opinion.

1 3/4 oz. chocolate stout
1 tsp. fresh grated ginger.

I recommend a quadruple of this, paired w/ a large gauge maduro, while in a pool on a floating chair.

Classic daiquiri:
sugar cube and enough water to dissolve it
juice of a lime
2 oz rum
Fill remainder of rocks glass with ice. Takes 1 min to whip up and it's very refreshing!
If I'm out: piña colada at a restaurant, rum runner at the beach or Key West, mojito at The Columbia in Sarasota or Ybor City.

I haven't had one in a while, but a rum and tonic is very tasty (just like a gin and tonic, with lots of lime).
I almost bought a bottle of. Romer's Gin and some tonic water and a lime this week but went with Corzo and Cranberry Juice
Gonna give the rum a try. I'm pretty sure I have a bottle I bought when last in Jamaica!!!

My old standby has always been Cap'n and Coke (3 fingers of Cap'n) but this past weekend I had a drink called Dark and Stormy. That stuff is amazing.
I don't mix my rum with anything other than a few rocks, sometimes. Nothing like a some El Dorado 15 Year rum with a rock or two. Or neat. Delicious.
For recipes, my wife loves Dark and Stormy's but only with Gosling's Rum and Gosling's Ginger Beer. For her, nothing else will do.
