This cocktail typically calls for “navy-style” rum, which is high proof and often a blend of rums from multiple Caribbean islands known for producing it. The Painkiller falls into the category of potential “hair of the dog” drinks. Pour the rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and sprinkle the Painkiller with grated nutmeg on top. Appleton Estate Dark Rum is a favorite for this drink. Light and dark rums are a popular combination. Whatever you choose to pour, it’s hard to make a bad Painkiller.

You’ll enjoy some rums more than others, and finding that perfect combination is half the fun. Cream of coconut is a nonalcoholic drink mixer that is sweeter than coconut cream. The original Painkiller was created at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the 1970s. The hotspot on the British Virgin Islands was owned by Daphne Henderson. With no dock on the beach, patrons had to swim to shore, getting their money wet along the way. The Painkiller was the Soggy Dollar’s signature cocktail, and it became famous in the islands.

The recipe was a well-kept secret. When Charles Tobias—who would found Pusser’s Rum in 1979—befriended Henderson, he tried to figure out the secret recipe. As the story goes, Tobias recreated the drink almost exactly, though people at the Soggy Dollar enjoyed his slightly less sweet version of the bar’s signature mix. The drink took off, and Tobias trademarked it as Pusser’s Painkiller. The recipe spread, and it quickly became a modern classic in the tropical cocktail scene. Bartenders mixed up Painkillers, drinkers enjoyed the fruity concoction, and all went well.
