    One of my all-time favorite fruity rum cocktails is this rich and delicious Painkiller Cocktail!

    Two garnished painkiller cocktails in glasses on a blue surface.

    While at a boat show in Annapolis, MD a couple of years ago, I had the privilege of dining at Pusser’s Caribbean Grille.  Believe it or not, I’d never heard of these “Painkillers” until then.

    So you know I had to try one… or three!  A laughing face emoji with tears of joy.

    Since then, I have been making these drinks throughout the summer and they’re definitely a treat, to say the least.

    One thing that I need to note is I learned that Pusser’s has exclusive rights to this drink… of course that’s why I prepared it with Pusser’s Rum.  I ordered this cocktail one night at a bar with friends, and a guy sitting beside me so kindly informed me of this. 

    Apparently he was somehow involved with Pusser’s, as he handed me a business card with the drink recipe on it (a coincidence to say the least!). 

    Painkiller Cocktail Ingredients

    • Dark Rum
    • Pineapple Juice
    • Orange Juice
    • Cream of Coconut
    • Ground nutmeg, for garnish

      Sooooo good! Made mine with 3 parts pineapple instead of 4, plus a rum floater splash on top. DELISH!
