Painkiller Drink Recipe

2-4 oz. of Pusser's Rum
4 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. cream of coconut
1 oz. orange juice
Grated fresh nutmeg

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add first four ingredients and shake. Pour into cocktail glasses over ice and top with grated nutmeg.

Where did the Painkiller originate?

The Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke. You'll most likely swim up from a boat anchored in White Bay. It's called the Soggy Dollar because that's what patrons use to pay for their painkiller drinks after the swim.

First, the bartender adds the Pusser's Rum, two to four ounces depending on the generosity of the pour.

Painkiller Cocktail Recipe

3 mins
Prep: 3 mins,
Cook: 0 mins
Yield: 1 serving

The Painkiller is one of the many popular tiki cocktails created in the mid-20th century. It's a fun and fruity mix, made of pineapple, orange, coconut, and a bold rum. Perfect for a sunny day on the beach or a casual afternoon in the backyard, the recipe is simple and the drink quite delicious.

This cocktail typically calls for "Navy Strength" rum, which is high-proof and often a blend of rums from multiple Caribbean islands. It was developed when the British Royal Navy patrolled the seas and sailors were allowed a daily rum ration.

Though this recipe is the most common, there are a number of variations. Some use just 2 ounces of pineapple juice and others prefer to simply add more rum. As with all cocktails, it's a matter of personal preference, so mix it how you like it.

What You'll Need

2 ounces
navy or dark rum
4 ounces
pineapple juice
1 ounce
cream of coconut
1 ounce
orange juice
Nutmeg for garnish

How to Make It

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice.
Sprinkle grated nutmeg on top.

Choose Your Rum

As you will see in the backstory of the Painkiller, Pusser's Rum has long been the rum of choice for the Painkiller. It's a nice rum and a good example of the more traditional Royal Navy style of rum. The brand's Original Admiralty Blend (Blue Label) is the most popular option, though they do offer a couple of others.

However, it is not your only option. British Royal Navy Imperial Rum is touted to be the most authentic among navy rums and it makes a fantastic Painkiller. You will find other brands available as well.

If you do not have a navy rum, choose a full-bodied dark rum for this drink. In rum-loving tiki fashion, you can also mix two styles of rum, which some believe may be truer to the original Painkiller.

Whatever you choose to pour, it's hard to make a bad Painkiller. You'll find you enjoy some rums better than others, but finding that perfect combination for you is half the fun.

The History of the Painkiller

The original Painkiller was created at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the 1970s. The hotspot on the British Virgin Islands was owned by Daphne Henderson. With no dock on the beach, patrons had to swim to shore, getting their money wet along the way. This inspired the bar's name.

The Painkiller quickly became known as the drink to have at the Soggy Dollar and it became famous in the islands. The recipe was a well-kept secret, but everyone enjoyed it.

When Charles Tobias, who would found Pusser's Rum in 1979, befriended Henderson he tried to figure out the secret recipe. As the story goes, Tobias recreated the drink almost exactly, though people at the Soggy Dollar enjoyed his slightly less sweet version of the bar's signature mix.

The drink took off and Tobias ended up trademarking the drink name as Pusser's Painkiller. As you can see from Pusser's website, it is the exact recipe seen here.

The recipe spread and it quickly became a modern classic in the tiki cocktail scene.

Bartenders were mixing up Painkillers, drinkers were enjoying the fruity concoction, and all went well. That was until a pair of well-known New York City bartenders decided to open a tiki bar called Painkiller. They also offered the namesake cocktail made with another rum rather than Pusser's. This spurred a trademark lawsuit brought on by the rum brand which ended in the venue changing its name and a bit of an uproar in the bartending community.

All of this brought up the question about whether anyone can trademark a cocktail, whether that be the name itself or the entire recipe. As the story unfolded in 2010 and 2011, other bartenders came out in support of the NYC establishment. Several boycotted the rum and quite a few purposely promoted Painkillers with any rum other than Pusser's.

Though the story of the Painkiller does not change the appeal of the drink, it is an interesting case of who can "own" a cocktail recipe or name. It's not the first case in the courts as we've seen similar arguments surrounding the Bacardi Cocktail and the Dark 'n Stormy.

How Strong Is the Painkiller?

The Painkiller falls into that category of potential "hair of the dog" drinks. Like the Corpse Reviver, it gives the illusion that it might help out on those days when you are plagued with a hangover. Whether or not that's true is up for you to decide. However, do watch out because this tasty drink can catch you off guard.

The Iconic Pusser’s Painkiller® Secret Formula

The Pusser’s Painkiller, known as the “Official Cocktail of the British Virgin Islands,” is a delicious blend of Pusser’s Rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, orange juice, and nutmeg served on the rocks. Be careful–this is a smooth and sneaky drink.

How to make a Pusser’s Painkiller cocktail:

Ingredients

2 oz Pusser’s Rum

4 oz pineapple juice

1 oz orange juice

1 oz cream of coconut

Fresh grated nutmeg

Directions

Add liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Pour into a big glass or goblet filled with ice. Grate fresh nutmeg on top and enjoy!

The Pusser’s Painkiller® Story

A version of the classic Pusser’s Painkiller® had its start at the six-seat Soggy Dollar Bar on a long stretch of white sand beach at White Bay on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. There’s no dock, so the usual way in is to swim. Of course, your dollars get wet, hence the name “Soggy Dollar Bar.”

It was owned by an English lady, Daphne Henderson. Boaters, including Pusser’s founder, Charles Tobias, came from distant places to sample her version of the Painkiller for which she’d become locally famous. The fact that Tobias had gone to The Admiralty Board of the Royal Navy and gained permission to commercialize the rum in 1979 made him curious about this deliciously concocted recipe made with Pusser’s Rum.

Daphne Henderson and Charles Tobias became good friends, but in spite of their close friendship, and no matter how he tried, she refused to divulge her secret recipe for the cocktail. Two years passed. One late Sunday afternoon, after a morning spent “killing the pain,” Tobias somehow managed to get one of her concoctions back through the surf and over the gunwale into his boat, and ultimately into his kitchen on Tortola where he lives. There we went to work trying to match her flavor as closely as possible with his own recipe, which he finally worked out to be “4-1-1-1” ratio—four parts pineapple, one part cream of coconut and one part orange juice adding Pusser’s Rum to suit.

The following Sunday, Tobias returned to her bar and announced to the patrons on hand that he had finally broken her secret. So he mixed one of his and circulated it for comments. Tobias discerned a slight difference, but thought his mixture to be better, not quite so sweet as hers, and told her so. The ten patrons gathered around the bar unanimously preferred his version to hers, and the rest is history!

Soon after, Tobias started promoting Pusser’s Painkillers® first at the Road Town Pub and then at his restaurants at West End and on Marina Cay.

The “Million Dollar Cocktail” Painkiller® has sold more than 140,000 at Pusser’s Caribbean Grille in Annapolis last year!

In every sense, the Painkiller has grown to be an iconic cocktail! It has been termed the “Modern Classic” or “the Most Famous Caribbean Cocktail” as people from all around the globe take pleasure in sharing their Painkiller® experiences where ever they may be, whether it’s a sandy beach bar or even in their own backyard, the cocktail is easy to make and even easier to enjoy!

It has even made a few recent appearances on trips to Antarctica, first in 2013 with the Global Rum Ambassador Ian Burrell and most recently with the 100 year anniversary of the 1916 Shackleton expedition. The popularity of this Caribbean lifestyle drink has also been celebrated through a variety of T-shirts, mugs, ceramics and a non-alcoholic mix, all of which are available on-line or at its Company Stores.

Regardless of where it is consumed, it will always have that same sense of fun and friendship that originates with the warm sandy beaches of the BVI and the Road Town Pub where it all began. Lifestyle is what it is all about and we invite you to enjoy your cocktail whilst you sit back, relax and have fun. Rarely is one Painkiller sufficient for the evening but no matter the amount consumed they are guaranteed to please.

The Painkiller Cocktail

I am kind of a sucker for cocktails that come with a warning. So, Ahem.

Warning: THIS ONE IS CRAZY (in a good way). But– Beware. It’s a drink that goes down a little tooooooo smoothly. It’s sweet, TROPICAL and totally refreshing but all of a sudden, it sneaks up on you!

The first time I had one was at a fabulous Tiki Bar called Forbidden Island in Alameda. We ended the night with a gigantic shared drink that was lit on fire…surrounded by 4 straws… The painkiller was just a drop in the bucket that night. That night ended in Taco Bell…7 layer burritos and nachos bell grande, OMG.

The second time I had a painkiller, I was hanging out with the same friends in Carmel and we made a batch to reminisce over that crazy tiki bar night. What I remember from our Carmel night is that three of the four of us were laying on the floor after drinking them feeling numb and saying, “OMG. IT REALLY IS LIKE A PAINKILLER!” There’s just something wild about the combination of rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut cream and nutmeg. Painkiller is the perfect way to describe it. Who needs a chiropractor when you can have a cocktail?

I realized that my blog is very tropical this week with this drink & my Tangerine Sherbet!

The reason? I was just looking at one of my weeks from last year….in MEXICO. Sigh. Mama needs a tropical vacation!

Everything except the nutmeg goes into a cocktail shaker!

Mix it up. The color is almost like milky iced coffee.

Top with extra ice. Grate fresh nutmeg on top.

Add in your cocktail umbrella and a slice of lime and you’re one step closer….

To feeling no pain!

The Painkiller Cocktail

2 oz. dark rum
4 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. orange juice
1 oz. sweetened coconut cream (I used Coco Lopez)
5 ice cubes
freshly grated nutmeg
slice of lime, for garnish

In a cocktail shaker, combine rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut cream and 3 ice cubes. Shake for about 10 seconds and pour in a tall glass. Add additional ice cubes to the glass and top with freshly grated nutmeg. Garnish with slice of lime & a cocktail umbrella.

huh I am confused…

“Everything except the coconut cream goes into a cocktail shaker !” and then “In a cocktail shaker, combine rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, coconut cream and 3 ice cubes. ”

Guess I’ll just put everything in the shaker, eh, can’t wait to try it

I am confused too!! why did I type coconut cream when I meant to type NUTMEG.

Anytime a drink gets people to lay on the floor, it’s a good drink This is RIGHT up my alley.

Reminds me kind of like a mai tai or a pina colada over ice rather than blended with a bunch of fake pina colada mix. I actually have everything in my fridge to make this right now. I will in about 2 hours!

oh yeah, this is HAPPENING! (I was confused by the “everything but the coconut cream into the shaker” line too though)

Dreaming of warmer days!

Half way through the week is always when I want to treat myself to a good cocktail after work, this looks perfect! TREAT YO SELF.

Where does one find coconut cream??

You can usually find it in a grocery store in the alcohol section. It comes in a can or they have a convenient squeeze tube.

We have yet to hit that bar in Alameda. Friends who use to live near it told us to take a cab over on a weekend afternoon and have fun. Maybe we should plan a girls afternoon there!

I am having the same dying for warm weather blues as I flip through Mexico pictures from last summer – give a tequila and beach anytime or in this case I’d like some rum!!

I finish my first round of exams for my Master’s degree tomorrow. I’ll be sure to have one (or four) of these for relief afterwards.

My favorite kind of cocktails are the kind that go down too easily. And there are definitely some nights I need one of these.

OMG! I was just in Florida with my family (hoping to get a warm break from cold NYC) and it was rainy and gray the whole time. But at least it was warm, so I just drank Painkillers by the hot tub the whole time. Hit the spot!

Fancy rum cocktail drinks are my favorite! Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco makes a good pain killer.

I’ve been meaning to check that place out!

Yum! I had a friend in college who was from Puerto Rico and used to make these all the time! You might want to clarify it needs to be sweetened coconut cream…I saw coconut cream at Trader Joe’s the other day and it’s not sweetened at all. I don’t think it would make for a very tasty pain killer (but I will eat Coco Lopez with a spoon. As discovered in college).

It’s definitely not Trader Joe’s coconut cream. I guess I thought that my suggestion of using Coco Lopez & the pictures would suggest that but I guess not!

In Australia we have something called coconut cream but it’s more like a milk in consistency, I was thinking from your photo that it must be something different – is it quite solid? I don’t think we have the Coco Lopez brand over here but I’ll keep an eye out for sweetened cream of coconut & see if that’s the same thing.

Thanks for clearing up that the stuff at Trader Joe’s isn’t correct. I live in Utah, and the alcohol section at the grocery store is seriously lacking. After Googling this I saw Trader Joe’s had a version and thought I would try going there, but now I know better! This drink sounds delicious, so hopefully somewhere around here carries it.

I really taking living in California for granted!! I forget that you can’t buy alcohol in some stores!

Turns out Coco Lopez is common enough even our teeny tiny mixer section had it! Thanks for the delicious recipe! It is a pain, though, having to go to a state liquor store to buy wine and liquor; the grocery stores only have beer. They’re closed on Sundays and holidays, too, so we have to plan ahead!

Wahoo!! I actually found it in squeeze bottle form. Which means I don’t have a whole can to deal with.

I love Forbidden Island! It’s been ages (& at least one kid) since I’ve been. The downside to their drinks is how much sugar they contain – even when I get virgin drinks, I still get headache afterwards, just from all the sugar. It’s easy to overindulge – those yummy tropical drinks go down so easy!

I definitely need to keep this in mind for a tropical fruit kick in the middle of winter! I especially love the fresh grated nutmeg garnish. Maybe I should actually go get a nutmeg or two one of these days…

Holy crap. I just found your blog for the first time (Smitten Kitchen did a facebook Q&A today and mentioned you as one of her must-check blogs). YOU ARE AMAZING and lead a charmed life! Your house and shoes are perfect, your “everyday life” posts blow my mind and make me wish I didn’t live in the dreary suburbs… but still inspire me to find and snap the pretty little things in life. Oh man.

This is a great cocktail. Whenever my husband and I make them we also make the “mocktail” version for our kids and have a big old family tiki party–everything but the rum for them. They love Painkillers too! Who wouldn’t.

I was worried about that almost full bottle of dark rum laying around from my eggnog making days in December! I’m not longer worried because the rest of winter is going to be pain-free!

I could go for a painkiller right about now. Is it too early?

Reason alone to develop a drinking problem. I’m a sucker for a tropical cocktail

I feel like maybe you just saved my Wednesday.

So in other words I should try drinking this one while I’m in labor? 😉 (I kid, I kid!) This looks seriously delicious.

Heading to the British Virgin Islands next week and going to the Soggy Dollar Bar which is made these famous! Can not wait!

Um woah. Yes please

There’s a chain restaurant here (Cheddar’s) that serves Painkillers with a toasted coconut rim and oh. my. gah. They make a big deal about limiting you to 2 because they’re so strong. I’m super excited to have this recipe so I can make them myself!

OMG, Stacey, I was just thinking about the Cheddars’ Pain Killer! Too die for! It’s so big and delicious I can’t get past 1.5 glasses. I saw this post and was so excited, maybe I’ll add some toasted coconut to the rim when I make this bad boy at home.

You guys just can’t read.

I am going to need this soon. It’s a full moon tonight and my children are going crazy. Sigh. It looks amazing

you’re a girl after my heart with this one!

Sublime! What a way to take away the Mid-winter blues.

Tropical drinks on fire are the best! I find that nights out at Tiki bars usually end with Taco Bell. Or Del Taco. Or it starts that way in anticipation of later on. A certain cocktail enthusiast on another HomeFries podcast can attest to this.

Now I want one of these…

HAHHAAHA. Bad/good food choices are always a consequence of bad/good drinking

Painkiller

THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE.

You could think of the Painkiller as a more grown-up version of the Pina Colada. This cocktail recipe uses dark rum instead of light, and adds orange juice and nutmeg in place of the cream, making it a little more tart and sophisticated. But the easy-going tropical pineapple and coconut flavors still dominate.

The original recipe was developed by Daphne Henderson, who ran a bar called The Soggy Dollar in the British Virgin Islands. It’s still a secret, but the Pusser Rum company came up with this version, which apparently tastes much like the original.

2 ounces of Pussers Navy (Dark) Rum
1 ounce Cream of Coconut
1 ounce of orange juice
3 ounces of pineapple juice
Sprinkle of nutmeg

Shake everything but the nutmeg, then strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. You can tweak the ingredient ratios to your taste.

Painkiller Mix

Painkiller Cocktail Mix

"Kills the Pain" and probably the smoothest drink you’ll ever taste! A delicious blend of Pusser’s Rum, cream of coconut, pineapple & orange juice served over the rocks with a garnish of orange, cherry and ground nutmeg.

Depending on the severity of the pain being experienced, you have your choice of Numbers 2, 3 or 4

designating the relative amount of Pusser’s Rum to be blended! Be careful, this is a smooth and sneaky drink!

The rich, smooth flavor is like that which you'd mix yourself, except with the benefits of being hassle-free:

• Consistency -- every drink is the same

• Shelf stable -- refrigerate after opening

As we say, "Use the mix and save the pain!"

Processing your order takes 1-3 days. For standard shipping, please allow 5-7 days to receive your order once processed.

If it's not made with Pusser's Rum, it's not a Painkiller!

More items to consider

Up Spirits!

To prepare for a face off, the iron men in their wooden ships found both revival and salvation in Pusser’s Rum, as well as companionship for downtime reverie. From the earliest days of the British Royal Navy, these foolhardy brave hearts were issued a daily ration or “tot” of rum by the ship’s “Purser,” a word the sailor’s later coined as “Pusser.” "UP SPIRITS" was the age old call for men of the Royal Navy to muster for their daily issue of rum!

The Painkiller Drink- Friday at Five

If you’re looking for a great warm weather cocktail, make this Painkiller Drink recipe! Coconut, pineapple, rum, and orange- what’s not to love?

These Painkiller Cocktails live up to their name. They definitely take away your pain- although I’m not sure if that’s due to the alcohol literally numbing your pain, or the fact that they are SO GOOD that you can’t possibly remain sad or mad while you’re drinking them.

The morning after experiementing with this drink and trying it out on my friends, I received the following text.

Well, I suppose I’m no angel.

This is my preferred drink when I go have lunch on the beach. I love coconut to begin with, and combined with rum and pineapple juice, I’m in total heaven.

I had a pineapple that was seeping juice all over my counter, which is never a good sign. I cut into it, and realized that pretty much the whole bottom half had gone bad, and I was going to have to do some creative cutting to salvage the usable parts of the top half. Halfway through, I decided to infuse some rum for some sort of wonderful drink creation TBD. I threw the pieces in a large mason jar, poured in my rum and let it be for a couple days.

Once I ended up with toasted coconut leftover from the Samoa Rice Krispie Treat Bars, I knew EXACTLY what drink I was going to try and recreate using my infused rum. These drinks are a little slice of heaven that if you aren’t careful, can leave you feeling like a whole lotta hell. I make no apologies!

What you’ll need for this recipe:
- Cocktail mixer- This Cocktail Shaker Bar Set is perfect for mixing any cocktail you want to make!
- Cocktail glasses- These glasses are perfect for serving your Painkiller cocktail in! This Beer Glass Set of 4 is the best for enjoying your drinks in!

These cocktails sound AWESOME! Minus the hangover. 🙂

Thanks Blair! PS I just found 5 of your comments in my Spam folder! What the heck.

These sound amazing! I would love it if you would link up to Tipsy Tuesday at Grey is the New Black!

Go Go Go Gourmet says

Thanks Pam! I’ll check it out for sure!

What did you use for “creme de coconut” as I can’t find it? Is it a liquor? Thanks.

Jacqueline says

It’s not a liquor. Unfortunately, I can’t reply with a picture comment, but it’s usually in with the cocktail concentrates and grenadine, etc. It’s literally just cream of coconut. Sometimes it’s in a squeeze bottle, other times it’s in a can.

You can also find it in the baking isle at your local grocery store.
