Painkiller
This is an excellent coconut + pineapple cocktail. Heavier on the juice than the Pina colada, and shaken over ice rather than blended.
Ingredients:
- 2oz aged rum (Pusser’s is the “original”)
- 2oz pineapple juices
- 1oz orange juice
- 1oz cream of coconut
- (optional) 5 ml Acid Adjuster solution
- nutmeg
Directions:
- Add rum, juices, and coconut cream in shaker with plenty of crushed ice.
- Shake vigorously.
- Pour over ice.
- Garnish with nutmeg.
Captain’s Coco
This was an excellent but potent drink that a number of us had at Kalahari. The secret was a lot of Morgan’s. It really needed the rum flavor and the spice. The nutmeg played a big role as well. More refreshing than a pina colada, but hits a lot of the same notes. Also way too easy to drink quickly!
And yeah, this is basically a painkiller with Morgan’s rather than Pusser’s, and less pineapple juice. I’ve tried a few other spiced rums, and they weren’t as good.
Ingredients:
- 2oz Captain Morgan spiced rum
- 1oz orange juice
- 1oz pineapple juices
- 1oz cream of coconut
- (optional) 5 ml Acid Adjuster solution
- nutmeg
- shredded coconut (optional)
Directions:
- Add rum, juices, and coconut cream to mixing glass. Stir to combine.
- Pour over ice.
- Garnish with nutmeg and shredded coconut
Notes:
- This was served in tall 24oz cups over ice. Kalahari Drink Menu PDF
- Observing the bartender making 24 oz drinks with ice, she made a very long pour of the Morgan’s. The second time I had it it seemed to have more juice and less rum, and that was worse. Probably at least 4 oz. Served in a 24oz cup over ice.
- Aaron and Austin loved this.
- I made it without orange juice and double pineapple juice, and was almost as good.
