The Painkiller comes from the British Virgin Islands and is closely associated with the Soggy Dollar Bar. It has become one of the most recognisable tropical cocktails.
Made with rum, pineapple, orange, and coconut, it is creamy, rich, and deeply satisfying. It sits somewhere between a Piña Colada and something a little lighter. It is a drink that feels like a holiday.
