I still remember the first time I had a Painkiller—not the pill, and don’t worry because this is way more fun. I was on a beach that honestly looked like a screensaver while the sun was blazing and the sand managed to get into all the wrong places. Then this tall, frosty drink landed in my hand as if it were a little vacation miracle.

To be honest, I didn’t even know what was in it but I took a sip and instantly thought, “ what is that” It was creamy and fruity with just enough to make you forget your sms in instagram even exist.

Naturally, I tried to recreate it at home It tasted more like regret rather than paradise. However, I kept trying and got better so now this recipe is the one—it’s truly beach- good.

If you’ve never had one, get ready because it’s a ride. If you have, then welcome back to your happy place.

Not really. Cream of coconut is sweet and thick, while coconut milk is thinner and not sweet. Stick to cream of coconut for the right flavor.

How can I make a large batch for a party ?

Just multiply the recipe ingredients by the number of servings and mix in a big pitcher or punch bowl. Add ice just before serving.

Can I add extra fruit to Painkiller ?

Sure! Add a splash of mango juice, or blend it with frozen fruit to make a slushy version.

About 1 to 2 days. Keep in a sealed container and shake well before serving.
