Enjoying This Painkiller Cocktail

Grab a Painkiller Cocktail and enjoy all the fruity, tropical flavors it has to offer! This sweet, simple drink is just the thing to sip in the heat of the day or as the sun goes down while poolside.

If you can’t be on a white sandy beach in the tropics, you might as well have a drink that makes you feel like you’re there! And this Painkiller does just that since it’s similar to a Pina Colada!

Where Did This Cocktail Originate From?

The history of the Painkiller Cocktail begins in the 1970s at Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands. The bar was owned by Daphne Henderson while the founder of Pusser’s Rum was Charles Tobias.

In the 1980s, Tobias got permission from Great Britain’s Royal Navy to commercialize the rum. Since the cocktail is trademarked, it should be made with Traditional Pusser’s Rum for an authentic Painkiller if it’s offered on a menu.

This is a strong drink. If you want something sweeter, try this Orange Creamsicle Cocktail.

How To Serve Pusser’s Painkiller Drink

• Single Serving – This recipe yields one drink! Perfect when simply making an end-of-the-day drink to sip on the porch after the kids go to bed.

If I Make A Large Batch Of This Cocktail For A Party Can I Store The Leftovers?

Yes, since this drink isn’t made with any carbonated ingredients storing the leftovers would be fine. However, if the batch had ice in it I wouldn’t bother storing the leftovers since they’ll be watered down.
