Nothing says festive like a party-ready cocktail dispensed directly from a pineapple!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) light rum
3/4 cup (6 ounces) cream of coconut
3/4 cup (6 ounces) pineapple juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces) triple sec
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large pineapple
Pineapple soda, for topping drinks

Steps:

  • Whisk or shake together the rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, triple sec and nutmeg until well combined (see Cook's Note). Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cut the stem off the pineapple. Using a pineapple corer, twist into the top of the pineapple but don't cut all the way through to the bottom. Pull out the pineapple rings and reserve for drink garnishes. Use a paring knife to cut away as much of the remaining core in the pineapple as possible. Insert a fruit keg tap into the pineapple following the manufacturer's instructions. Replace the stem on top of the pineapple like a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Shake the chilled drink vigorously. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the hollowed-out pineapple.
  • To serve, pour about 1/4 cup of the drink mixture over ice in a glass and top with some pineapple soda. Garnish with a pineapple ring and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 to 4 ounces Pusser's Rum
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce cream of coconut
1 ounce orange juice
Grated fresh nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add first four ingredients and stir. Pour into cocktail glasses and top with grated nutmeg.

  • Embrace Freshness: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible to elevate the flavors of your cocktail. Fresh pineapple and orange juices provide a vibrant and natural sweetness that bottled or canned juices can't match.
  • Choose High-Quality Rum: Opt for a quality aged rum that offers a smooth and complex taste profile. A good aged rum will provide the backbone of your cocktail and enhance its overall flavor.
  • Balance the Ingredients: Pay attention to the balance of flavors in your cocktail. Too much of one ingredient can overpower the others, so aim for a harmonious blend of sweetness, sourness, and spice.
  • Shake and Strain with Care: Shake your cocktail vigorously to incorporate all the ingredients and create a frothy texture. Double strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice chips or unwanted particles.
  • Garnish Generously: Don't forget the finishing touches! A garnish of fresh nutmeg or a pineapple wedge adds visual appeal and enhances the tropical flavors of the cocktail.
The Painkiller cocktail is a delightful fusion of tropical flavors that transports you to a Caribbean paradise with every sip. With its harmonious blend of sweetness, sourness, and spice, this cocktail offers a refreshing and unforgettable experience. Whether you're unwinding on a beach, enjoying a backyard barbecue, or simply seeking a taste of the tropics, the Painkiller cocktail is the perfect companion.
