Try a glass of Presidente with nothing added, then tell me again that rum tastes awful. That's what I'd say to anyone if I had a bottle in the closet and the subject came up.

Definitely,
especially when it comes to things like gin.
Though personally I'm quite fine with barely-decent liquor so long as it's white rum or tequila. One just needs really good mixers aside from just the usual cheap sugary junk. I'm excessive by nature so I like using things like blood orange and pomegranate and mango juice and such. (Oh and for instance if you infuse cheap gin with blackberries for a few weeks or so it takes the edge off a little and ofc tastes wonderful and like blackberries and springtime. SO good if you use it to make a gin fizz or modified gin and tonic type drink with lemon rather than lime and some sugar added, and maybe elderflower liqueur?) Though I guess these things are much easier to manage if you're only a very light drinker and don't require large quantities of expensive liquor and liqueurs.
