Haha. I don't know about all that, but I'm glad you liked it.

also, happy to see you had the same instincts I did on the rum - many pages on here sub just Smith & Cross for Pusser's, which never sat right with me...Pusser's has a pretty strong Demarara note! (this drink seems to need 2.5 oz of an overproof rum, and anything regular strength will only make a junior Painkiller. I'm unsure if regular Pusser's used to be regular proof - I know that they now make their basic navy rum, and an overproof version that isn't an exact match but probably close enough)

@DistinguishedSpirits

4 жыл бұрын

The "original" Blue Label Pusser's is 84-proof in the US and 80-proof elsewhere. Then they have the Navy and Gunpowder strengths as well. Don't get me wrong, the rum itself is a tasty blend. But yeah, Smith & Cross isn't going to get the same flavor profile. Part of it is if you're trying to make a riff on the drink, you don't need to chain yourself to the flavor of the Pusser's, but and overproof blend of full-flavored rums makes for an interesting complement to the other ingredients in the drink. Cheers!

Sounds like a nice improvement on the classic! I've got Coco Lopez, would you just use some cinnamon powder to give it that kick? I'm not sure boiling it would go well, especially considering it's in the super convenient squeeze top bottle.

@DistinguishedSpirits

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, give it a whirl. Let me know what you think. If you use your coco lopez, that should work with the cinnamon. I've done it with cracked cinnamon sticks, but not with ground cinnamon. Either way, you'll want to make a small batch and store that separately from the regular coco lopez, unless you want cinnamon in every drink you make with the lopez. The heat with the sticks is to help draw out some of that flavor, but you don't want it to boil exactly. You want it on medium heat, just off the boil. With the ground cinnamon, you may be able to integrate it cold. You'll just have to play around with the measurements and maybe combine it in a blender. Try 2-3 teaspoons and take it from there. You want it to have a noticeable baking spices flavor to it in the final drink, so you don't want to be very subtle with the cinnamon in the mix. Hope that helps. Let me know what you come up with if you try it with ground cinnamon. Cheers!

Coco Lopez is handy, but I tried Native Forest coconut cream and it is a huge improvement in both flavor and mouth feel. It is organic, unsweetened, and comes in handy little 5.4oz cans so less waste. Yes, it probably adds about 50c to the cost of each drink but it's worth it in my opinion.

I have been wanting to try this drink for a while. I had to make a few substitutions based on seasonal availability, left overs to be used up, etc. 2.5 oz Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum 3 oz pineapple juice (left over from last weekend's Jungle Birds) 1 oz Coco Réal coconut cream 1 oz honey ginger syrup (left over from last night's Penicillins) 1 oz blood orange juice (I think tangerines are out of season. I couldn't find any at the store) This is an amazing drink. On the sweet end of the spectrum for me, but complex. I have noticed that Smith & Cross goes especially well with coconut based drinks and it's got enough character to still make its presence felt amongst everything else that's going on. Good call, DS! Next time I see tangerines in the store I will have to give your recipe a try.

I like your approach. Your spin on the Painkiller is similar to my own. I've also swapped out the OJ for tangerine, and replaced half the navy rum with Appleton's 12 year. I wish we had a better selection of Jamaican rums where I live. I'm pretty much stuck with a limited selection of Appleton's, and Wray & Nephew overproof. I've also considered the use of cinnamon, but just never got there. I'd be interested if you could tikify a Pina Verde without wrecking what that drink has going on though. I think adding rums and spice to it would just equal a waste of Chartreuse. Any ideas?

(I'm also very excited to use cinnamon syrup in even more drinks.) i might not be able to find unsweetened coconut cream. if I use sweet coconut cream spiced with cinnamon, should I keep it at 1 oz or bump it up to 1.5 or something?
