I hate to say it, but if you serve a Painkiller, everyone will love it and probably not care as much for the traditional Tiki drinks. So, you can go for what pleases the crowd, or what is traditional. The crowd will generally be happier with something sickly sweet and having no taste of alcohol whatsoever, i.e. Painkiller. Sounds like that's what you are really looking for here. If you aren't that into the drinks, you may make some of these and find they suck. A Mai Tai or Navy Grog mixed wrong or using wrong ingredients is a mess. I don't suggest you bother with a lot of what was suggested for that reason. So, my dead simple suggestions that are crowd pleasers and cheap and easy to make that almost everyone will like including the person making them: Painkiller Derby Daiquiri Jasper's Jamaican (This calls for allspice dram/pimento liquor, but it is worth it to get the bottle. Cut the lime to 1/4 oz.)
