The Story Behind The Painkiller

The Painkiller was first made in the British Virgin Islands with Pusser’s Navy Rum. You may notice it on menus with the numbers #2, #3, and #4 after its name; that indicates how many ounces of rum are used.

It’s essentially a boozier Piña Colada, and is sure to drown any and all sorrows. The Painkiller is one of the 50 most popular cocktails in the world. To discover the other 49, check out the full list.
