Painkiller

Here’s a 1970’s classic that is sure to drown any and all of your sorrows.

The Painkiller was first made in the British Virgin Island’s with Pusser’s Navy Rum. You may have noticed it on several menus with the numbers #2, #3 and #4 after the title, which indicates how many ounces of rum are used. It’s essentially a boozier Pina Colada and it’s quite difficult to be depressed while drinking one.
