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!

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!).
