Did some experimenting last night. First I made the Rum Forward version and it was very good. The only thing was the amount of the drink was less than a regular painkiller so I added 1/2 oz Malibu and 2 oz OJ instead of just one...

Still less than the original 4 oz of pineapple juice but a little closer. Of course you could always just make it 2 oz Pusser and skip the Malibu. So to recap, 1 1/2 oz of Pussers, 1/2 oz Malibu, 1/2 lime, 2 oz OJ, 1 oz pineapple

Yes I agree with adding a little more rum - first time I made it with 1 1/2 Pussers, tried it & really liked it, added an extra 1/2 of rum & found it too strong... but Malibu? :wink:

I think a differentiating factor of the Painkiller should be the inclusion of orange juice - an emphasis on pineapple makes it Piña Colada esq.

Incidently the best Piña Colada I ever tried was 1-1-1-1-2 (lime, orange, pineapple, coconut cream, rum) - couldn't bring myself to have one in public but did go ask the bartender how they made it (& made it at home).

It did feature in my mind when I was thinking up the 'Rum Forward' Painkiller but slimmed down the lime to be a little sweeter (1 part was too sour) & included less rum (to represent I used the overproof Pussers) :)
