Havana Club

Given that I hoard my HC for special medicinal purposes, I am partial to Cruzan Estate Dark or Cruzan Estate Light for mixing. Bacardi is perfectly ok for white rum drinks as well. Appleton Estate Special is also a very good gold mixer.

I also like Brugal for Cuba Libre.

What's your personal favorite rum to put in a --

Mojito? Havana Club 3 year old for authenticity but I also like Brugal White, a lot. Mount Gay white is nice as well.

Cuba Libre? I wouldn't drink Coke on a bet.

Ginger Ale? Now there it gets interesting. Cruzan White or Dark, almost anything else as long as the ginger ale isn't too sweet. But I save the older rums for sipping.

juice drink? I prefer the lighter rums so I can taste the juice. Coconut juice is one of my favorites mixed with St Vincent Gold rum.

I, too, like Brugal White, it's good & inexpensive.
