Again, I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while; I’ve been out of town. But I’m back, and I’m ready to introduce you to the Painkiller! Quite an interesting name...let's see if it lives up to it.
Here’s the recipe I used (taken from DrinksMixer.com):
2 oz rum (Bacardi Gold Puerto Rican Rum)
1 oz cream of coconut (Simply Squeeze Coco Real Cream of Coconut)
4 oz pineapple juice (Dole Concentrated Pineapple Juice)
1 oz orange juice (Simply Natural Orange Juice)
Shake or stir ingredients, and pour over ice in a tall glass and serve.
Although the original recipe calls for dark rum, the gold rum will do just fine. The Painkiller is considered the official drink of the British Virgin Islands, and can be served in any type of tall glassware. Most commonly served with nutmeg sprinkled on top.
Personal tasting notes: This cocktail was actually pretty decent. I think the nutmeg would be a great garnish for this particular drink. However, I would prefer the more simple Screwdriver, since there was a little more work that went into this drink. I would also prefer the flavor of more orange juice than pineapple juice. I’d like to try this drink again with the nutmeg, but otherwise I don’t think I’ll be doing this drink again.
