This drink could easily handle 3oz of rum, without being overpowering. Using a rum that is too smooth might make it disappear completely, but because Pusser’s Navy Rum has a lot of flavours it comes through. The nutmeg gives it that something extra.Īs for the rum, the Pussers makes this drink really smooth and gives it some rum character. The one thing that is mandatory in this drink is nutmeg, without it, it would be just another mixed juice and rum drink. Add rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and orange juice. The coconut cream plays a background role that is appealing and the orange juice stands out more than I thought it would, it tempers the pineapple juice. orange juice Pineapple wedge for garnish Directions: Fill a shaker with ice. Shake until the cocktail mixture is chilled and frothy. Start by adding the dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, cream of coconut, and ice to a cocktail shaker.

It isn’t thick and creamy, so you won’t feel bloated after a couple, and they have lots of juice so they might appeal to the healthy people. The Painkiller Cocktail dates back to the 1970s, specifically in the British Virgin Islands where the cocktail was first created. This is a good drink for people who like tropical cocktails, but don’t want to order a Pina Colada because it is passe. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a dash, or three, of nutmeg. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. The Painkiller also gets a nutmeg dusting. The difference is the addition of cream to the Pina Colada and the absence of cream in the Painkiller but added orange juice. But, each one is different, with the Pina Colada being the basic rum, pineapple and coconut drink and the Painkiller adding some orange juice and mixing up the ratio’s a bit, but not much. Garnish with a maraschino berry and pineapple. They are all based on rum, with flavours of pineapple and coconut. Shake and strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes. The Painkiller is a drink similar in nature to a Pina Colada or a Goombay Smash. The original cocktail is still “secret” but was reverse engineered to what we taste today, by Charles Tobias, Pusser’s modern founder. The Soggy Dollar is so named because it lacks a dock for boats so the sailors must swim to shore, making their money soggy. Ingredients 2-ounces (60 ml) Pussers Rum 4-ounces (120 ml) pineapple juice 1-ounce (30 ml) orange juice 1-ounce (30 ml) cream of coconut Freshly grated.

The Painkiller is one of those branded cocktails that wasn’t created by the company originally, but by Daphne Henderson who operated the Soggy Dollar in the British Virgin Islands. Since my last rum review was on Pusser’s Navy Rum, the obvious cocktail choice was a Painkiller. I’m still on this rum kick so a cocktail made with a good rum might hit the spot. With all the rum reviewing going on, I decided it was time to stop and take a cocktail break.
