I've always done booze first and the other ingredients second for my cocktails unless the cocktail requires a float of course. If you put the rum in first, then the coke, the process of pouring the coke will mix the drink pretty well. This keeps you from having to stir the drink for more than a real quick turn allowing you to keep as much of the fizzy as possible. And Rum and Pepsi is good if you use a heavier or spicier rum. My personal favorite, Rum and Dr. Pepper. I use a light rum like Cruzan to allow the 23 flavor profile of the Dr Pepper stand out while still drinking an adult(erated) beverage.
