Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 2 oz dark rum
- 4 oz pineapple juice
- 2 oz orange juice
- 1 & 1/2 oz cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1 oz simple syrup
- Crushed ice (as needed)
For Garnish
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- Pineapple slice
- Maraschino cherry
- Toasted sweetened shredded coconut (for glass rim)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass rim: Pour the simple syrup onto a shallow plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the simple syrup, then immediately into the toasted sweetened shredded coconut to coat the rim evenly. Set aside.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut. Add a scoop of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until the drink is well chilled and properly mixed.
- Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with crushed ice. Add a generous sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg on top for an aromatic garnish.
- Garnish and finish: Garnish the drink with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry skewered on a cocktail pick. Insert a straw and serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Use good quality dark rum for authentic flavor.
- Chilling the shaker before use helps achieve a colder drink faster.
- Toasted coconut on the rim adds a sweet crunch and enhances the tropical theme.
- Freshly grated nutmeg is essential for the signature Painkiller aroma and taste.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup.
