USVI-On-Line

I believe I have noticed that bars on the island pour the juice component for a pain killer out of one bottle. I have to assume that the orange and pinapple are premixed. However, the coconut cream is kept separate. Does coconut cream and juices not keep well in a mixed state?

Yesterday we had a bbq at the house and for the first time thought I'd try some pain killers. They were loved by all.

That being said, I did a total premix about three hours before the crowd. I did notice that the Cream of Coco did clump a bit but made it's way back into the mix. So becareful on that account.

WOW - I hadn't thought of this....what a great way to bring St John to my patio in California. (We do fly the VI flag to keep us in an island state of mind.) This is GREAT - Painkillers on the patio before dinner tonight!!! I may add a little Bob Marley and WE'RE THERE!!! - YIPPEE

The coconut cream will separate a bit after a few hours (presumably because of the highg fat content!). A quick stir will solve the problem - or just drink fast

We made a big batch yesterday. Everyone loved them! I used coconut rum instead of coconut cream (more rum ) and then you don't have to worry about separation at all. Someone on this board had suggested that a while back, and we've been making them that way ever since.

I like mine with the coconut rum too.
I don't care for milky alcohol drinks too much.

Im gonna try the coconut rum next time too. We have made a couple of batches lately and the leftovers (yes leftovers) don't look very appetizing. We add the rum last since I like more and he likes less, and DJ can have the no rum version Snorkelqueen, did you get the flag in the VI?

We've done the premix of the Pineapple Juice, OJ and Coconut Cream for a big party before and it works great. The premix allowed us to quickly whip up batches of Pain Killers throughout the party with less mess - just add the mix, ice and rum in the blender. We found when offering Pain Killers nobody touched the wine and very few end up drinking beer. The Pain Killers were in high demand, so we had to go with the premix to make it faster and easier.

I mixed up a jug on Saturday to take to a cook-out. I premixed everything and shook the h*** out of it. It stayed mixed just fine (and didn't last long either!). Just put it in a container that can be shaken when needed.

I've used an empty gallon milk jug. It can be capped and shaken to break up the chunks.

We made a poor man's painkiller the other day. I had one of those frozen Pina Collada tube things...I made them up and added OJ and rum (Pusser's and Tortuga).

Not perfect. But a close, easy, substitute.

I mix the pineapple juice, orange juice and coconut rum together in a Pampered Chef pitcher that has a plugger thingy in it that you pull up and push down. It works great for keeping everthing mixed up. It is sad when you look at a catalog and the first thing you think about is 'that would be a great way to keep your pitcher of mixed drinks mixed'!

Another great pitcher drink is Coconut in the Lime recipe. It was a hit at our last cookout.

Hi Ksea.....yup, in a little gift shop next to the bar at the Fish Trap in Cruz Bay.... I think it was 20 bucks. It is very cool to have it flying on the patio, it makes me smile everytime I look at it.

A couple of questions for those substituting coconut rum for cream of coconut in a painkiller. Do you use exactly as much coconut rum as coconut cream? Then do you add the dark rum as well? Thanks.
