The difference that matters
Rum has the higher anti-freezing power (PAC 296 vs 259), so swapping toward it makes the mix softer and lowers the serving temperature; trim other high-PAC sugars if you want the same scoop hardness. Amaretto Liqueur sweetens more per gram (POD 52 vs 0), so you can dose less of it for the same perceived sweetness. Amaretto Liqueur is denser in total solids (52% vs 33%), so it thickens body faster and needs less to hit the same dry-matter target.
