My new discovery in 2025 is the Painkiller cocktail. What a great summer drink! In the past couple of months, I have downed at least ten of them. Here’s the recipe I’ve found to be absolutely perfect:
Ingredients
2 ounces Pusser’s rum
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 ounce cream of coconut
freshly grated nutmeg
fresh pineapple or maraschino cherries
Directions
- Add rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut to a shaker with ice and shake.
- Strain into a glass over cubed ice.
- Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and a fresh pineapple or maraschino cherry.
Note: You should make sure that all of the liquids have already been chilled before adding to the shaker. It is important to minimize the melting of the ice to prevent the liquids from being diluted. As always, use the highest-quality and freshest ingredients.
