Painkiller Cocktail
The Painkiller cocktail is a tropical classic from the British Virgin Islands. With a creamy, fruity blend of dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut, this drink is like a mini vacation in a glass. Topped with freshly grated nutmeg, it’s the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and rich flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 oz dark rum Pusser’s Rum recommended
- 4 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice freshly squeezed preferred
- 1 oz cream of coconut like Coco López
- Freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
- Crushed ice
- Pineapple wedge or orange slice optional garnish
Instructions
- Place your serving glass (rocks glass or tiki mug) in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.
- In a cocktail shaker, add: 2 oz dark rum, 4 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz orange juice, 1 oz cream of coconut
- Tip: Add the cream of coconut last to avoid sticking to your tools.
