Aged rum sweetened, softened and flavoured with pineapple and amaretto. A crowd pleaser

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.
