In a pitcher, stir together the pineapple, orange and lemon juices, white rum, rye whiskey, orange liqueur and Simple Syrup to taste. Add the orange and lemon slices, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Divide among 6 Collins glasses filled with ice. Top off with a splash of sparkling water and a few teaspoons of the black rum. Serve immediately.
