Clear rum, ain't rum. For a Piña Colada it's gonna be tough to beat Mount Gay Eclipse. It's got a bit of color, a ton of rum flavor, and at ~$20/bottle it won't break the bank. For more rum forward cocktails, like Mai Tai's, or for drinks that benefit from a rum float, there are many more rummier (and yummier) options.... that do tip that color scale towards the deeper end.
