Painkiller Cocktail

Megan Mendez

Report

The Painkiller cocktail was invented at the Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. It's the ultimate tropical drink whether you're beachside, poolside, or inside.

Notes

Alternatively, to make a pitcher of painkillers, multiply quantities by however many drinks you plan to make and stir together vigorously in a pitcher. You may refrigerate the pitcher for several hours, but you will need to stir it before serving as it will separate. Serve over ice.
The Painkiller is the signature, trademarked cocktail of Pusser's Rum. If you don't have this brand of rum in your bar you can make it with another brand of dark rum such as Myers's Rum (my personal choice). I have also made these with spiced rum which is not traditional, but extremely delicious.
This makes a generous sized cocktail (1 cup) but you can easily make a bigger cocktail if you want to serve it in a tall glass. Simply use 4 parts pineapple juice, 2 parts rum (you can make the drink stronger with up to 4 parts if you prefer), 1 part orange juice, and 1 part cream of coconut.

A 15-ounce can of coconut cream is enough for 10 Painkillers. A 46-fluid ounce can of pineapple juice is enough for 11 cocktails (or make 10 and drink the rest of the juice as is).
