Painkiller | Local Cocktail From British Virgin Islands, United Kingdom | TasteAtlas

Painkiller

Painkiller is a rum-based tropical cocktail first made at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands. It was created in 1971 by Daphne Henderson, and sometime in the 1980s, Pusser's Rum went to trademark the recipe. Painkiller combines dark or navy rum, most recipes will use Pusser's Rum, fresh pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut. The ingredients are shaken with ice, and the combination is then strained into chilled glasses.


This cocktail is served in tiki glasses or optionally in a tall collins glass filled with ice. It is usually garnished with a pineapple wedge and freshly grated nutmeg.
