Try Don Q rum. Distilled in P. Rico. Can be found some places here in the states.

There is no better rum on the planet than Havana Club. We used to be able to get a 750ml bottle in the dollar stores in Havana for less than $4. I can't even drink Bacardi anymore. When I do drink rum here in Florida, I get the cheap stuff from the ABC stores. It SAYS it's made in the USVI but I suspect it's made somewhere in Dade County.

When ordering a "cuba libre" in a foreigners' bar in Havana or Varadero, the bartenders will look around to see if any goons are skulking. If it's clear, they'll correct you and say that it is called "mentira," (a lie), because there certainly is no Free Cuba.
