Coke and peppermint cordial or coke and fresh lime.

Or just keep it simple and use coke and ice.

I find a slice of lime with rum and coke to be very tasty

Stroh is nothing your average havana club or bacardi white rums.

The only thing to mix with dark rum is ginger beer not ginger ale. It's called a dark and stormy. hmmmmmmm rum and ginger beer

ginger is a good goer alright, I'll second that.

Is Stroh a rum? I got Stroh 80 awhile back in Austria... sounds a bit insane for a rum.

There is a great selection of Rum available at The Waterloo Bar on upper Baggot street. A rum club was recently started for people who appreciate something a little different.

Thats Stroh 60 is lethal stuff, I bought a bottle in Croatia and tried it with coke but it gives an unbearable aftertaste. I like Havana Club and Captain Morgans and although Stroh smell slike dark rum, I don't think it is. Has anyone found a nice mixer to make it bearable?
