If you like Piña Coladas, you’ll like its riff, the Painkiller. The drink was created in the 1970’s at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands. Despite not inventing the cocktail, the bastards over at Pusser’s trademarked the drink and have sued people over using different Rum. You can use different Rum, but according to the evil corporate overlords, it is not a Painkiller. This cocktail has three levels with different amounts of Rum. The more pain you are currently in, the more Rum you use.
