Probably depends on which bottle it is. That said I would suggest whoever bought you the bottle gave it a bit of thought rather than buying you a named popular bottle.
Appletons is a good brand. If it’s a better bottle neat would be fine. But me being a commoner, it’s either with coke, ice and a slice or this time Of the year a good hot chocolate.
Missis T was on a night out and th guy sat a glass of rum Over a glass with hot water. The steam realised the flavours in the Rum
A nice tipple that. As Tash said can’t beat a little coke mixer. However if you want to take it a up a level and have a little flavour sensation, couple of ice cubics a finger or two as a measure for the rum and topped off with a nice ginger beer
. A nice spiced winter warmer then 
We got some Ginger beer kicking about so I’ll give that a go. CheersA nice tipple that. As Tash said can’t beat a little coke mixer.

Bumbu, I have only had it once in a Wetherspoons in Oban and it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I had to drive back to Loch Fyne and only had a taste of it. It is a Rum I could easily drink with just ice .Got a few bottles for Christmas; Dead Man’s Fingers flavours of;
Dark Spiced
Mango
Cherry
Also got bottles of:
Kraken Dark spice
Bumbu
The DMF dark spice is nice over ice or with a splash of coke.
Not tried the Mango yet but they may be a lemonade mixer due to in my mind being sweet or perhaps just straight.
The Cherry is dangerously! With a splash of Coke Zero it’s literally like drinking Dr Pepper I’ve already drunk a fair bit as a result
Kraken is versatile but good with both Coke and Ginger beer.
Bumbu is pretty much my favourite go to tipple as it’s so easy to drink and smooth. Already consume in the cupboard half drunk so the new bottle helps keep me topped up
Treat yourself to a bottle Tash you won’t be disappointed. It’s definitely a nice smooth tipple with just ice but equally mixes well with coke, ginger beer etc. it’s really versatile and just lovely to drink.Bumbu, I have only had it once in a Wetherspoons in Oban and it was gorgeous.

Off to Tunisia on Tuesday and guess what I will be looking for in Duty free
Yer leading me astray didn’t know you could do that. Anyway the other guy said that’s nice, but try this and he comes back with a round of bumbu drinks 
I was driving 
Best time to buy then. I got a bottle in Gatwick duty free reduced from £40 to £18Off to Tunisia on Tuesday and guess what I will be looking for in Duty free
I mentioned the Wetherspoons in Oban as me and Missis T met another two couples for the weekend. Anyway one of the guys mentioned his son works in Wetherspoons. He had txt him and the next thing we have drinks on the table his son had paid for and sent to us.

I got a bottle of the Bumbu Cream. Interesting stuff, a rum-based version of Baileys.Bumbu, I have only had it once in a Wetherspoons in Oban and it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I had to drive back to Loch Fyne and only had a taste of it. It is a Rum I could easily drink with just ice .
Saw that in the shop the other day and was tempted to get some but I don’t have room at the moment for it
If you like Baileys, you will enjoy it. It’s very easy to drink.Saw that in the shop the other day and was tempted to get some but I don’t have room at the moment for it
