My what long teeth you have granpda..... The only reason I survived college is because Shiner Bock was always the $2 pitcher drink at the pool hall.

I just like using rums in mixed drinks such as zombie, mai tai, pina colada, etc. I don't drink it straight up so I don't need anything fancy.

Also, what are those gems that were under $10?

Well, you are asking more than you realize. Many a an argument has started around here when people start to talk specifically about the brands to match up in your drink.....

I'll offer the following as some of my 'favorite' rums:

In the Under $20 category I like Brugal, Ronrico, Angostura 'Old Oak' Gold, Cruzan.

In the About $20 category (usually more, but sometimes on sale...), Cruzan Single Barrel, El Dorado, Lemon Hart

I wont go higher under the premise of financially challenge student...

Basically, pick a couple of outlets and shop regularly. If you get to know the owner/manager/cute checkout person you will have a chance to chat them up about what they have on sale, what is good or not, and in the case of the cute checkout person you might get a date to go with that bottle......
