Frozen Painkiller

We ordered our first Frozen Painkiller from The Longboard on St. John a few years ago after a great day exploring the beautiful sandy beaches on the north shore. Painkillers have been one of our go-to favorites for a long, long time (find out more about this popular drink here) – ever since we tried our first one on St. John in the 90’s. However, the Frozen Painkiller we were served at The Longboard was something special. Cold, creamy and so refreshing. We’re not sure what their exact recipe is, but we came home and attempted to make our own. They’ll never be quite as special as the one’s there (our view is not quite the same!), but it certainly reminds us of great times in the islands. The recipe below makes one tall drink but can be easily doubled.

Frozen Painkiller

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 1.5 oz Orange Juice
  • 1.5 oz Coconut Creme
  • 3 oz Rum (Authentic Painkillers are made with Pusser's Rum)
  • 1 – 2 c Ice (Or, substitute frozen pineapple for some of the ice. It does make the Painkiller thicker and more filling, but it tastes good!)
  • Freshly Grated Nutmeg
  • .5 0z Dark Rum (Optional, as a floater)

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients in a blender and blend just until smooth. Pour into a tall glass. Add the optional dark rum on the top if you'd like a floater, then sprinkle with nutmeg and serve immediately.

Pineapple Mojito

Pineapple and rum are frequently paired together. Think of the popular Caribbean rum drink, Bahama Mama, or a Painkiller, or perhaps a Caribbean Rum Punch. The combination of pineapple and a good rum make for a decidedly tropical tasting beverage.

We’ve always been fans of a good Perfect Mojito, and have been known to post a mojito variation or two (check out this Pear Mojito, Mango Mojito or Zesty Orange Mojito), so it was only natural to try a Pineapple Mojito. It took a try or two to figure out the best combination, but we think you’ll enjoy this recipe. Cheers!

Toes in the Sand Cocktail

Guava just tastes like a tropical vacation to us. I guess that’s probably because the only time we really get to enjoy it is while spending time in the islands.

We’re really missing our island travel right now and thought we’d satisfy an island taste by mixing up a new rum cocktail with guava. It’s always fun to experiment with a new recipe – especially when you come up with something satisfying, like this delicious drink.

We struggled with a name, thinking it should have guava in it, but finally settled on Toes in the Sand, because – it tastes like a drink one would enjoy while basking in the Caribbean sunshine! Enjoy a little taste of the tropics – even if you can’t physically be there right now.

Creamy Root Beer & Rum

There’s just something about Root Beer and dark rum. Previously we posted a recipe for an adult version of a Root Beer Float called a Rum N’ Root Beer Float. Ahhh, so delicious AND caloric! Well, we recently ran across another recipe on How Sweet Eats calling for Root Beer and rum and just had to try it. Oh my goodness. Equally as delicious and unfortunately as caloric, but so worth some extra exercise to burn it off. The recipe makes a good sized (and powerful) drink, but you could also cut it in half for a super tasty after-dinner dessert liqueur. Enjoy this super easy, super tasty delight!

Painkiller Punch

A slight variation on the Caribbean favorite drink, the Painkiller, the Painkiller Punch lightens it up just a tad with coconut rum instead of cream of coconut. Additionally a splash of grendadine is added for color, we used coconut water ice cubes and of course we added a delicious dark rum floater. SO tropically delicious!

Six-Feet Sangria

A delicious Sangria with rum which may make social distancing a little…more tolerable? Six-Feet Sangria – it’s got a dose of Vitamin C in the fruit and sits pretty on a coaster of a square of toilet paper (no TP was wasted in photographing this drink)! The ingredients make one, but it can easily be doubled or quadrupled. Call your friends, give them the recipe and have a virtual happy hour! Cheers!

In all seriousness, please take any recommendations seriously and stay safe!

Red, White & Booze

This layered drink looks so refreshing and festive and is a perfect adult drink for a July 4th party or picnic! The drink is fairly sweet because of the grenadine and blue curacao, so for the best results, we recommend a slightly tart or unsweetened lemonade.
