About

A Virgin Islands classic from the 1970s, the Painkiller is a lush, tropical riff on the Piña Colada built on rum, fresh pineapple and orange juices, and coconut cream — finished with a snowfall of freshly grated nutmeg. Trademarked by Pusser's Rum, it remains one of the defining drinks of Caribbean cocktail culture.
