THIS IS NOT A PAINKILLER

  • In today’s video, I’m making the Painkiller! Well, technically this is not a Painkiller (not looking for trouble here). The Painkiller name was trademarked by Pusser’s Rum, but I’m not using Pusser’s. Not saying it’s bad in the drink - just don’t like being told what to do. I’m a Rum Rebel (gonna trademark that). Pusser’s claims the original Painkiller was made with their rum. However, the drink appears to predate the rum company, and it’s all thanks to Daphne Henderson at the Soggy Dollar Bar. I’ll tell the contentious story of this tropical concoction, and show you how I make it! So one last time, just to be clear, this is not a Painkiller - but it does tastes like one. Cheers, everybody!

    Trademarked cocktails make me want to go out of my way to make them without the ingredient owned by the trademark holders. You'll never see goslings in my dark n storms. You'll never see a painkiller made by me by the books either.

      The Trademarks are all pretty dubious too.
      There’s actually a case that the Dark and Stormy trademark doesn’t even apply to the cocktail and is thus unenforceable in the context they try to use it.

Can’t wait to get home and make this version for her.

    15 oz pineapple juice ("regular")
    15 oz acid adjusted pineapple juice
    10 oz coconut cream
    10 oz orange juice
    Throw in a blender (I have a Vitawmix, 2 litres capacity) on low-med to mix the coconut cream well.
    Pour over crushed ice. Throw in your garnish, a straw... That's it!

    For me the thing about Smith & Cross is not the overripe banana funk but the grapefruit rind bitterness. I don't care for it on it's own but since I've come to like the Jungle Bird with it's Campari bitterness, I can see how S&C could work in a sweet fruity cocktail. I don't like it in my mai tai. I use Appleton 12 and Pusser's Gunpowder Proof for that.

    Since I am far too lazy to break down pineapple all the time, I find Dole juice works just fine. But I do indeed grate the nutmeg. :)

    I, too, make a drink exactly like a Painkiller but without Pusser's Rum. Also, I have a hack for drinks that call for navy strength rum when I don't have that. If you take one-half 151 rum and one-half 80 proof rum, the result will be 115.5 proof, which qualifies as navy strength.

But I really do want to continue trying the painkiller and yet I don't think I have access to Pusser's rum! I love the Eldorado rum and Smith and Cross, yet it's another one we have huge trouble accessing - so frustrating. Time for a trip across the border to get some Pusser's rum and maybe I will find it more easily.

    This is my go to painkiller riff and one of my favorite drinks. I have a handfull of painkiller variants I keep in rotation.
    Christmas in July
    1 oz Dr Bird (something blended that brings funk + nose, S+C works here also as well as a bunch of much more expensive choices)
    1 oz Plantation XO (anything smooth that will "get out of the way" and bring roundness to the rum blend, the dosage in this actually works well so I recommend something dosed)
    1 oz Diplomatico Reserva (This one really brings out the spice)
    2 oz pineapple juice
    1 oz cream of coconut
    .5 all spice dram
    flash blend and dirty pour with pebble ice, top with crushed ice
    garnish with pineapple fronds and grated nutmeg
    If keeping the citrus, I find clementine juice works quite well in a painkiller but I generally do .75 vs 1 oz.

    I'm with you on the Smith & Cross, Anders. Bring on da funk! Just curious: have you tried acid-adjusted pineapple juice in this or other tiki cocktails? It's a subtle but significant improvement, in my opinion.

    I just got a bartender/mixologist job at a high end bar in my city even though I’ve never been a bartender before, only home bar, but All I learned thru the years is because of you, the educated barfly, Steve and the other UA-cam channels, I didn’t need to go to bartender school, I learned from the best!! The cocktail director at the bar saw my instagram page and was impressed, I’m starting tomorrow! If you could give me advice on something what would it be?

    The whole story about why painkiller became pkny is pretty spot on. Many moons ago when I worked at the main bar of the owners they where pretty successful with the place and the painkillers was the bestseller. They changed it to avoid the lawsuit because an invester got wind of the trademarked name and the operators wanted to keep going as long as Pusser's alowed them. The investor put it to a vetoand went whith pkny. Bar remaind really profitable from what I heard. The main thing was that the maintenance was expensive and some key people left the bar in order to work at other bar(s) + the audience at the Lower east side where way different than the ones at the main bar.........

    Oh wow. I'm on my second for the evening (and am feeling it), the first made with Plantation Dark and Coruba Dark for some funk (I've got no Demerara rum on hand), and the second made with Appleton 8 and Sailor Jerry spiced because hey, why not. Unfortunately I'm having to use store bought juices but your recipe for cremé of coconut. Gotta say, I'm now having a VERY smooth and relaxed night. Cheers 🥂

    I recently saw a tiki tock video of a painkiller be made at the soggy dollar bar and they don't use pussers they used soggy dollar dark rum.
    PS I have always used S&C in my painkillers but will have to give that split base a try. Love the videos keep up the good work.

    Funny enough Anders, I was literally thinking about the Painkiller 💊 I usually add a tiny drop of spiced Tiki Fire rum in my Painkiller blend. Happy Friday bro
