I'm not familiar with mixing rum (hubs prefers to drink it straight) but some variation of spiced rum seems like it would be best. Captain Morgan has already been mentioned; they make a black spiced rum that has a strong chocolate taste to it, so that could be interesting. I've never tried their Tattoo so I can't judge how well that would mix.
Personally, a favorite around here is Kraken spiced rum. Again, I haven't tried to mix it, but I think it would mix very well with cider.

Quoth MaggieTheCat View PostAlso, a friend of mine has a bottle of butterscotch schnapps that she says is really good with apple cider, turns it into a sort of caramel apple taste, so she is going to bring that for us to experiment with!At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.

I am not find of Kraken, but that's my taste. Yours may vary.
That being said, Tattoo is liquid shit. It was Captain Morgan's answer to Jagermeister, and it's horrible. I wouldn't spike anything but a toilet with it.

Captain Black isn't my favorite, but it's decent for what it is. And it's not something that I would describe as liquid shit.
Tattoo is a waste of time, money, alcohol, labor, glass, space, and anything else you can think of. I'd call it my least favorite rum, but it's not a rum, simply a really bad liqueur.
Liquid. Shit.

I ended up getting a bottle of Captain Morgan...I wanted to try making vanilla extract with vanilla beans and rum and thought a spiced vanilla extract would be interesting, so I decided just to go with the original. The extract is brewing nicely in my pantry and I can set out the bottle of Captain for my party, so I'd call that a win-win.
