here's your drink for 2011 Pete, especially since you got sidetracked into rum:

Goslings makes a ginger beer as well, I use that mostly. Recommend use an upside down spoon to "float" the run into the ginger beer and you get the cool two tone effect. If your just drinkin' to drink - than mix away.
Love me some Rusty Nails even if they are an old lady's drink!!!
Hope you're well!
