Traditional with a twist - Original Painkiller (1971)

Pusser’s trademarked their version of the recipe in 1981, and have been known to sue bars that attempt to sell versions that use different rum. The original recipe from a decade earlier called for a blend of Caribbean rums. If you’re afraid of violating trademark law, make the Pusser’s version. Otherwise, try the KicksPlayer version below.
