The broadside firepower of navy rum balances sweet pineapple and coconut in what is an all too delicious Tiki-style libation

Very good rum/tiki drink. Although I am a rum drinker did find it a tad sweet. A 1/4 oz 151 float did the trick. I would definitely have this again.

The 151 floater was a fantastic idea. I've always been underwhelmed by Painkillers. Adding that little splash of Lemon Hart 151 made an incredible difference - really elevates the drink.

Shouldn’t there be some nutmeg grated on top at the end?

Yes. Nutmeg is mentioned in the garnish above.

Wheee-dogee this is good. Nutmeg garnish is a must. Fairly sweet and packs a punch, but can be adjusted with proportions of juice component. Broad and funky with Jamaican rum. Anytime drink.
