I hear you on the cost aspect @Chopstick , lol
Sometimes I tend to not realize but apparently I have expensive taste. It's all fun and games at the tasting until you see the price list.

What other rums to mix with Coke?
OMG I was at this place the other day Home
You could spend the rest of your life answering that question there!
I lost count how many drinks I tried but I do recall enjoying the very tasty rum flight at the beginning.
I have some tasty Cuban rums.

Was just talking about this with a friend. I've been trying to source some of that from my Cuban Cigar source.
Havana Club is probably the most common, I haven't tried any I didn't like and I normally don't like Rum.
As an aside, if Trump is willing to negotiate with Rocket Man; he should open up dialogue with Cuba.

More on favorite poisons.....
Never,
EVER...
...cook with wine that you wouldn't want to drink
Never,
EVER...
...mix good liquor with anything (maybe an ice cube if it is absolutely necessary)
If you are pouring booze into a cup full of soda - just know that the universe becomes unstable if you use anything but a 'house-brand' liquor. Artisans put a lot of effort into making the good stuff taste like good stuff - we all die a little when someone pours good sippin' liquor into a cup full of cola
...in fact, just thinking about it is causing me to experience shortness of breath, chest pain, and a dull throbbing pain in my arm, back, jaw, and neck

Good god, thank you. Even the addition of ice to a scotch or bourbon (especially bourbon) should be a no-go. Yes, ice in a glass can sometimes give a few moments of a sharper taste, but you end of with a glass of watered down goodness sooner than you might think.
If a scotch is too peaty? Light up a quality cigar to pair with....everything changes and life is even more wonderful than it already was.

hahahaha....
Jack and Coke is awesome.
Single Barrel Select or Gentleman Jack are also awesome - but dear god, don't spill your soda into a glass of Single Barrel Select or Gentleman Jack
Bacardi and Coke is also awesome - just don't use Bacardi 8-Year in your Cuba-Libre
A scotch and soda is great with Johnnie Walker Red - but for the love of basketball, just don't use Blue Label
It isn't spaghetti and meatballs when good liquor is tainted - its more like lamb and tuna fish
...just my two cents though, I could be wrong

Side note: if you guys/gals happen to end up in Blacksburg, VA, I highly recommend stopping at TOTS (Top of the Stairs) and ordering a Rail, a.k.a. the finisher.

I've had some fantastic Manhattan's that were made with hard to buy bourbons, to include Michter's 20. I've also experienced ORVW10 mixed with Coke and Dr. Pepper. It's fucking delish!
I say enjoy your spirits with whatever makes your pallet happy. One man's trash is another man's garbage. Some people love peat, others despise it. At the end of the day it's their cash and mouth, not mine.
Wait...so that time I mixed Pappy Van Winkle with Dr. Pepper wasn't a good idea?
Its a great idea. In fact, not very long ago, most bourbon sat on store shelves. I could get a BTAC bottle in May even. ORVW10, Old Fitz, WLW, all could be easily had for cheap. I wish I could go back to my Marine time and save/not open all of it. I could probably buy a summer beach house.
