For light rum, use pineapple juice flavored with (non-alcoholic)almond extract. For dark rum, use molasses thinned with pineapple juice and flavored with (non-alcoholic)almond extract.
Regular SubstituteUse rum extract flavoring. Or you can use bourbon cos it's a similarly "sweet" liquor that tastes good in baking. Another good option would be cachaça.
