Tips:

Use high-quality rum. The rum is the main flavor in this drink, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a rum that is at least 80 proof and has a flavor that you enjoy.
Fresh citrus juice is best. Fresh citrus juice will give your drink a brighter, more refreshing flavor than bottled juice.
Don't over-sweeten your drink. The rum and citrus juice should be the main flavors, so you don't want to add too much sugar or sweetener.
Garnish your drink with a lime wedge or a maraschino cherry. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.

Conclusion:

The rum rollover is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful drink, give the rum rollover a try.
