Bloody Painkiller is a variation of the Caribbean Painkiller cocktail, this one using blood orange juice as part of the mix.

Bloody Painkiller is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Improv Cooking.
I am sharing a variation on the “Painkiller”. This is a tropical cocktail using Pusser rum that is attributed to George and Marie Myrick of the Soggy Dollar Bar. They opened their place in the British Virgin Islands on Jost van Dyke in the 1970’s.
It is a smooth drink with a wicked sneak. And it’s one of my favs. In this variation I am using blood orange juice to add some color. And give it a humorous name with a British sense of humor. It is from the BVI after all.
Painkiller vs. Pina Colada
There is a bit of difference between these two drinks, although both are smooth and creamy. The painkiller has the orange juice in it which adds a different citrus edge.
Also, the Pina Colada generally uses white rum while the Painkiller uses a dark navy rum.
Can I make this by the pitcher?
You can certainly increase the quantities of ingredients to make for a serving pitcher to set on the table.
Just be careful your guests don’t pour too much! As I said, these are wicked smooth, go down fast, and do sneak.

I am pleasantly surprised by your cocktail. When I saw the name I thought it was going to be tomato based and I couldn’t wrap my head around tomatoes and pineapple LOL.
Cheers! I think I’ve had a Painkiller cocktail…maybe. Now I’ll definitely have to try it.
Lovely color! Great drink!
