Does anyone know the origin of the name of this cocktail? I’m wondering if it has any relation to the Robert Redford/Gene Hackman film of the same name?

有点太甜了

I planned to follow the suggestions by upping the rum to 2 full oz and adding half a spoon of lemon juice, but unfortunately my rum of choice El Dorado 8 years only yielded 1.5 oz (the bottle almost empty) so I topped it with an additional half oz with pusser's navy rum. Made a very pleasant and quite dry tipple with the rum notes dominating with a fruity and nutty backbone.

Outstanding. Adding more rum makes this better.

Used 75 ml Myer's, 25 ml Amaretto, 40 ml Pineapple juice and one dash of Angostura Aromatic bitters.

I used an infinity rum I made instead of the aged rum here, and this drink is a good one to use it in. My infinity rum has a mix of white, gold, aged, pot-still, and overproof rums, and it's around 45% ABV.

I also added some Abbott's bitters because I think they work well with amaretto. I think I'll give the more rum and less pineapple idea folks have suggested next time.

Made this cocktail with both Jamaican and Black Seal. Each drink has unique, desirable characteristics. Found both cocktails to be flavorful, balanced and refreshing.

Agree with everyone else:

needs more rum and some more balance. See if this hits you all better.

75 ml Appleton Signature Single Estate
25 ml Disaronno
35 ml Pineapple

First time I did it with 1 3/4 ounces of El Dorado 8 yr. It was very good. Would make a great pool-side drink, but still a bit of a sweet drink. Second time I added about 1/2 a teaspoon fresh lemon juice to try to balance it. It was much better with the lemon juice seemed a bit more balanced. Can still taste Rum and Amaretto but not as sweet a finish.
