A few weeks ago our dock mates chartered a boat and sailed around the US Virgin Islands for a week. From the stories they had to tell and superb sun kissed skin they brought home I’d say they had the time of their life. And while we weren’t along for the journey they brought back a little piece of the island for myself and the Mr. They brought back painkillers. Painkillers are a most refreshing fruit, coconut and rum filled cocktail and just a sip will make you feel like you are definitely living on island time. Between these, my Sky Juice and Boozy Peach Lemonade I’d say the summer is shaping up quite nicely. Cheers! truly, MKR

This is incredible timing! My in-laws just gifted my husband and I with rum from the US Virgin Islands (where they too just returned from chartering a sailboat for over a week!) and couldn’t stop talking about this legendary beverage. To my morning blogroll delight, all aboard the Painkiller Cocktail Recipe! The odds! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to this poolside treat. -Lauren
I love it when the timing just works! It really is the BEST cocktail! Enjoy! xo
This sounds absolutely delicious! I am a huge rum + coconut fan so I am definitely going to have to try this recipe!
Yes you must, make a big pitcher of it to share! xo
This looks and sounds amazing, I think I’ll be making this soon 😉
Gaby it is SO good! Especially if you can juice fresh oranges and pineapples….so good!
