Now I need to find a place that sells XM rum. It's cheap Guyanese rum, but it tastes so much better than Captain Morgan or Bacardi.

Rum is a blast to work with. Here's my own: 1 1/2 oz. Bacardi 151, Splash of OJ/Pomegranate Juice, over ice with Mountain Dew. "The Hillbilly Holiday" always a hit.

Are you still in high school? Who uses mountain dew as a mixer? Or even drink it on purpose? Your palette may need a little sophistication my friend. Could you at least use Squirt instead?

Pity
your sophistication is defined by my grandmothers favorite soda pop.
