Myers' is one of the most full bodied dark rums. That's great when you need that flavor. If your other rum is the gold, you'll need to change the ratio a good bit. More like 1/2 Myers and 1.5 gold. Are these really the only rums you have? If you can get some other, more mild dark, just use 2 ounces of it. Cruzan or Appleton VX or Extra. Any of the tastier darker rums.

Myers is a staple, but it is a mixer, not a sipper.
