For the coconut cream, we recommend using Coco Lopez or Coco Real. Both options are good. Traditionally, the painkiller is served with Pusser’s rum, a recreation of the British Royal Navy rum. But, most of us don’t have that so just use whatever works best for you! A couple of things to keep in mind …

1. Adjust the rum and fruit juice ratios to suit your taste preference.
2. Freshly squeezed orange juice and citrus adds an extra burst of flavor.
3. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and sprinkle of nutmeg for a tropical presentation.
4. Be careful, the painkiller’s smooth taste can be deceiving – it’s a potent cocktail! Enjoy responsibly.
5. Serve it in a tiki mug to bring some extra flair to it!
