Painkiller

-->
Painkiller

Use Pussers Rum. Premium aged rum from 1655. Pussers is British Royal Navy slang for a purser, a ships supply officer who doled out the custom of a daily tot of rum.

I ordered one on the British island of Tortola. Think Treasure Island and Long John Silver and young Jim Hawkins, matey. Norman Island was the real Treasure Island in Robert Louis Stevenson's famous book. The Painkiller came in this tin metal mug. Inside are all the island flags. On the outside are directions for the SECRET recipe.





Created in the tropical paradise of the British Virgin Islands, where the PAINKILLER has become the favorite tipple of sailors and landlubbers alike. Comes in three strengths: Numbers 2, 3,  & 4.

THE SECRET RECIPE
2, 3, or 4 oz Pusser's Navy Rum
4 oz pineapple juice
1 oz creme of coconut
1 oz orange juice

Serve on the rocks. Stir and grate nutmeg on top.


The 4 oz'er definitely stops the pain.
