In the more recent past, I've taken to using whatever good sipping rums I have around. Right now, I'm using 10yo Myers, very flavorful, more like a sipping rum. I usually float one shot. I also double my Mai Tais, so that it more or less fills a tiki mug. Doubling tends to help with the overpowering tendency that some floats can have as there's more diluent (higher Mai Tai:Float volume ratio).
