I like tiki drinks.
Painkillers are incredible. I'll take 12.
measurements:
- 2 oz Dark Rum (preferably Pusser's Rum, as it's the traditional choice)
- 4 oz Pineapple Juice
- 1 oz Orange Juice
- 1 oz Cream of Coconut *Garnish: Grated Nutmeg and optionally a pineapple wedge or cherry
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a shaker, add the dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut with ice.
- Shake Well: Shake vigorously until well chilled.
- Strain: Strain the mixture into a hurricane glass or large snifter filled with ice.
- Garnish: Generously grate fresh nutmeg on top of the drink and, if you like, add a pineapple wedge or cherry for decoration.
I really like both the Jungle Bird and Artichoke Hold served on crushed ice as tiki drinks.
The Jungle Bird
- 1.5 oz Jamaican rum
- .75 oz Campari
- 1 oz pineapple juice, preferably fresh
- .5 oz lime juice
- .5 oz Demerara syrup (1:1 sugar to water) Shake on ice and strain into crushed ice. Garnish: pineapple wedge and frond
Artichoke Hold:
- 0.75 oz Jamaican Rum preferably Smith & Cross
- 0.75 oz Cynar
- 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur preferably St Germain
- 0.75 oz Lime Juice
- 0.5 oz Orgeat
Same as above, shake on ice and strain onto crushed ice.
The jungle bird is one of the greatest. I typically use blackstrap rum. I've even clarified it before with milk
