Let's go through how to create the best Pussers navy rum drinks.

1. Painkiller Cocktail

A painkiller is a tropical cocktail made with rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and coconut cream. The drink is garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a cherry or pineapple slice. Painkillers are said to have originated in the British Virgin Islands, specifically from the Soggy Dollar Bar on the White Bay.

To make the drink, combine dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and coconut cream. Shake the combination well with ice. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Sprinkle nutmeg on top of the drink. Garnish with a pineapple slice or cherry. You can see our exact recipe here.

Or, if you love soda, create a sparkling rum punch by adding sparkling wine or clear soda to your British navy Pussers rum.

3. Mai Tai

A Mai Tai is a tropical cocktail made with rum, lime juice, orange liqueur, and various syrups and garnishes. The name "Mai Tai" means "out of this world" in Tahitian, and the drink is said to have originated at Trader Vic's restaurant in 1944.

A classic mai tai recipe combines dark rum, lime juice, orange curaçao, orgeat syrup, simple syrup, and mint sprig as a garnish. To make your mai tai, in a shaker, combine the dark rum, lime juice, orange curaçao, orgeat syrup, and simple syrup.
