If you like piña coladas—this is even better. Swapping orange juice in for the lime and sprinkling in a bit of nutmeg, you end up with a dangerously drinkable Caribbean cocktail called a Painkiller. Don’t bother with the little umbrella—it only gets in the way.
I first learned to make the drink while helping out at the Sunday pig roasts at Mount Victory Camp on St. Croix back in the early 2000s. In fact, the first Painkiller was served in the Virgin Islands, but the British variety: Over on the island of Jost Van Dyke, bartender Daphne Henderson created it at The Soggy Dollar, a six-stool bar along the beautiful beach of White Bay. The beach had no dock, so boaters dropped anchor and swam ashore, bellying up to the bar with a pocket full of wet bills.
