📜 History

Created at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands during the 1970s, the Painkiller earned its name from its remarkable ability to ease any worries. Swimmers would wade ashore to the bar—no dock meant soggy dollars for payment. The combination of navy-strength rum, coconut cream, pineapple, and orange juice became essential to Caribbean beach culture.
