Painkiller Cocktail
Though the classic recipe calls for both spiced and gold rums, you can omit the gold rum and stick with just spiced, as I find it is all that’s needed to nail the flavor in a great Painkiller. Also, a good quality bottled OJ works great (no need to squeeze fresh). Taste before serving and adjust any of the ingredient amounts as you see fit.

Notes
1. You can reduce the ingredients list by just using 2.5 cups of Orange Pineapple Juice, if you prefer.
