It's no secret that it can be hard to find just the right rum to fit your cocktail and budget needs. Yes, it's as easy to pay more than $50 for a bottle straight from Martinique as it is to pick up a handle of Captain Morgan. But sometimes your budget just can't handle an expensive bottle of booze.

That's right: delicious and wallet-friendly. Oh, and did we mention all of his picks are American-made?

Read on to see which brands the Rum Runner recommends--at a price point that will make everyone happy.
