My version of the painkiller, created when I misread the recipe while trying out some additions, but I like it more than the original. And, I make it in bulk. It's good for parties and for breakfast without the rum.

Pitcher:
48 ounces fresh orange juice
12 ounces pineapple juice
12 ounces of guava nectar (In Latin section of my grocery store)
1-15 ounce can of cream of coconut (Coco Lopez is official, but others will work)
3 ounces fresh lime juice

mix well and often -

fill a highball glass or small-medium sized tiki mug with ice,

add 1 1/2 ounces of rum (Pussers rum makes it official)

fill glass with mix to fill the glass

top with fresh grated nutmeg (do NOT use pre-grated nutmeg, it will ruin your drink, grate your own at the bar, fresh whole nutmeg can be found in the spice section of most stores)

At parties, I always go through 2-3 times as many painkillers as I do any other drink.

(trick #1 - the cream of coconut has a tendency to separate - head this off at the pass by pre-mixing the cream of coconut and some of the juices in a blender or bowl, then blend or whisk or otherwise find a way to break up the lumps. Doing this ahead of time makes the drink creamier and non-chunky later on)
