Painkiller
Yes, it's kinda fruity, and yes, you're venturing into umbrella-drink territory; but we're at the dawn of summer—it's okay to put on your flowered shirt and relax a little bit. A Painkiller can help you shake out whatever winter stiffness remains, and prepare you for the long, hot months ahead.
Painkiller Cocktail
The Painkiller cocktail was invented at the Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. It's the ultimate tropical drink whether you're beachside, poolside, or inside.

Peachy Rum and Coconut Frozen Blended Cocktail
This rich and creamy frozen peach cocktail has a lot of spice from Angostura bitters and two kinds of rum. The dark rum float is an added boozy bonus, but if you'd like to keep the drink light, leave it off.
The Hurricane
Originally a simple mixture of rum, citrus and passion fruit syrup, the Hurricane has morphed into a noxious red, weird-tasting abomination. There's no need for that; instead, try the original, and see why this iconic New Orleans drink became such a fixture of the exotic drinks scene.
Mai Tai
The true Mai Tai is a vacation in a glass, bearing little resemblance to the sweet, murky rum drink you've likely tried before.
First things first: this is not a Painkiller. This may resemble that drink that originated some 40 years ago at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands, but the Painkiller was adopted as the mascot drink by Pusser's Rum around a decade after its birth (the drink's birth, that is.)
