Sure, 5-gal. will do.  Personally, I think a bit bigger is better,
specifically a 7-gal. pot, though the ones I've kept in only 5-gal pots
also were fine for years, you just have to water a bit more frequently and
they tend to try tipping over more often.  Even a 10-gal. pot is fine,
especially if no 7-gal available, though 10-gal pots are awfully large when
it comes time to move them around.

But I think a 55-gallon drum would be major overkill, at least for the
first 8-10 (20?) years of your rocoto's life.
