The Painkiller Prescriptive

The Painkiller Prescriptive has its origins at a beach bar known as the Soggy Dollar on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. Medicinal preparations were available at this apothecary-cum-bar nearly every day during the winter and spring sailing seasons. If a sailor had spent the night in the grip of that demon, the “old black rum,” a dose of this fruity prescriptive would be sure to cure him of the affliction—and fast. A distant cousin of the piña colada, the Painkiller both refreshes and heals: The citrus juices offer a wallop of immunity-boosting vitamin C, while the coconut provides potassium and adds creaminess and heft. Nutmeg, which has long been used to rouse the appetite, tops off the Painkiller—and, of course, the rum warms and soothes the sufferer’s mind and body.
