PAINKILLER

This cocktail will cure whatever ails you which stays true to its name.  It should be made with Pusser's dark rum (a traditional Royal Navy style rum),  however you can make it with any dark rum of your choice.  The drink was created in the 1970s by Daphne Henderson at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands.  There is no dock and to reach the bar, the boaters anchored off the beach, swam to shore and paid for their drinks with wet money.
