Clarified Painkiller

Written By Daniel Zajic

CLARIFIED PAINKILLER

  • 2½ oz. navy rum

  • 2 oz. pineapple juice

  • 1 oz. acid-adjusted orange juice

  • 1 oz. coconut cream

  • 1¼ oz. whole milk, to clarify nutmeg to garnish

*convert ounces to cups to make a batch, which is what I did!

METHOD
combine all ingredients except milk / stir and pour over milk / let sit for a 1-2 hours (or overnight) until milk curdles / slowly pour mixture into funnel with coffee filter or paper towel / first drops will be cloudy, so swap out container when drops are clear / pass through cloudy portion until all is clear / store in sealed bottle / to serve, pour over clear ice.

ACID-ADJUSTED ORANGE JUICE
1 cup fresh orange juice + 7.6 g citric acid + 4.7 g malic acid
*this gives you acidity of lime (source)

ABOUT
The Painkiller is a classic cocktail created at the Soggy Dollar (British Virgin Islands). I decided to clarify it and served it to folks on NYE. It was a HIT! New to clarifying? Clarifying creates a clear, shelf stable cocktail that has a wonderful mouthfeel. It will last for months! Cheers y'all!
