Overall, I used a ratio of 4-1-1-1. This is slightly different than the original recipe I put in Ohana magazine, with a little less coconut cream overall. Each gallon container contained - 60 ounces orange juice 15 ounces coconut cream (I used Goya - 15 ounce cans, so no crazy measuring) 15 ounces pineapple juice 15 ounces guava nectar (Goya again) 15 ounces of amber rum juice of 4 limes fresh grated nutmeg over the top of each individual drink (can be bought in the spice section or Indian section of most grocery stores - do NOT use pre-grated nutmeg as it will ruin your drink -) The second change is that I used a blender to mix the coconut cream with some of the juice, after measuring (the coconut cream comes in 15 ounce cans, so all I had to do was drop I can worth into a blender) but before mixing it all together. Because the coconut cream has a tendency to separate, blending it for 10-15 seconds with some juice whips it up and makes it less likely to get get chunky and separate. It also adds a bit of creaminess. The cups at the room crawl were 9 oz cups, with ice I figure each person got about 4 ounces of Painkiller, with 1/2 ounce of that being rum. If you are making Painkillers at home you can leave the rum out of the mix and then add rum to taste depending on the size of your tiki mug, but I never put more than 1.5-2 ounces in any size of drink at home. I do this for 2 reasons, so the rum doesn't overwhelm the drink and so my guests don't get too drunk. People drink these very fast at parties and it isn't uncommon for people to have 3-4 over the course of a night (sometimes in addition to other drinks) at my parties. If my tiki mugs each have 2 ounces of rum, they've had a lot within a few hours and won't be up for driving (or walking). My overall recipe was a happy mistake when instead of doing 4 parts pineapple juice to 1 part OJ (as in most recipe books, including Beachbum Berry's), I screwed up and used 4 parts OJ to 1 part pineapple juice. I like mine better. dcman [ Edited by: dcman 2011-06-29 05:32 ]

Two small changes to the Painkiller recipe -

I changed the proportions slightly, and I liked this version a little better. Overall, I used a ratio of 4-1-1-1. This is slightly different than the original recipe I put in Ohana magazine, with a little less coconut cream overall.

Each gallon container contained -

60 ounces orange juice
15 ounces coconut cream (I used Goya - 15 ounce cans, so no crazy measuring)
15 ounces pineapple juice
15 ounces guava nectar (Goya again)
15 ounces of amber rum
juice of 4 limes

fresh grated nutmeg over the top of each individual drink (can be bought in the spice section or Indian section of most grocery stores - do NOT use pre-grated nutmeg as it will ruin your drink -)

The second change is that I used a blender to mix the coconut cream with some of the juice, after measuring (the coconut cream comes in 15 ounce cans, so all I had to do was drop I can worth into a blender) but before mixing it all together.
