The Iced Rum Cocktail

I wanted a nice cocktail with a Pacific Island flair. I thought Rum and Pineapple Juice would be a good starting point for a such a cocktail. The addition of a bit of Lemon Juice to provide a touch of citrus bite would, I think, complete such a cocktail. I try to keep things simple, and delicious.
