Rum and Tonic image

What sort of rum and tonic you might like depends heavily on the kind of rum you prefer. And the world of rum is so wide and various, there are many directions you can go. The light-bodied Bacardi makes for an easy choice, and an easy, if simple, drink. The rhum agricoles made in Martinique will give you a much more complex cocktail, with grassy and vegetal notes. And Banks 5, a blend made up of rums from various places, brings sweet fruit notes like banana to the glass. Most rums, however, require a more aggressive tonic partner, like Schweppes.
