You could always throw it in a Painkiller or mix it in with some other rums in a Mai Tai to give it a kick - maybe float it. Kevin Upthegrove has covered Polynesian and Cuban rums from them, though I don't think he's done anything w/the Navy.

I found the Navy the hardest to mix but you may want to give this thing a try that I was working on when I had Tiki Oasis on my mind (side note: when episode 45 of my show goes live Thursday 8/13 it'll have 2 TIki Oasis 15 themed cocktails). Anyway, this is a Corn 'n Oil variant using the Lost Spirits Navy. Tweak the lime and sugar amounts to taste.

Lost in Spirits
2 oz Lost Spirits Navy rum (I happened to be using the 57 when working on the recipe)
1/2 oz falernum
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/4 oz simple syrup

Build over ice in an old-fashioned glass. Stir until frosty. Sip.

As mentioned in episode 44, it's worth noting that Lost Spirits is working on new rums that should be available soon, and they continue to work on their aging technology. As such they have no remaining inventory of their Navy, Polynesian, or Cuban Inspired 151 rums. So if you enjoy any of these 3 Lost Spirits rums and see them in the wild, you'll want to pick them up.

(edit to add a photo as I was inspired to mix one tonight)

if it's not a little complicated, it's probably not worth it.
