I wouldn't look askance at someone who used good rum in a rum-and-coke, either. Rum is quite friendly that way.
Hot buttered!! That sounds excellent.

I have a nice recipe for rum cake. It's basically just yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix, and whatever amount of water you're supposed to add, you make it 1/2 water and 1/2 rum. You bake in a bundt pan, let it cool, prick some holes in it and then glaze it. But the key is the glaze, which is made from rum, sugar and butter. I'd be happy to just pour that stuff in a glass and drink it.
