Soggy Dollar Dark Caribbean Rum, 70 cl (1 bottle)

Product Information

Still, it’s a strong liquor, with high proof that has the potential to hit you hard, especially if you are not an experienced drinker. Considering that, when mixed with the juices and all the rum will hide well, you could easily be a few drinks in when you realize that and it might be too late. Hence, you might want to look for other alternatives. Other dark rums like Myer’s and Mount Gay will do a good job of replacing Pusser’s rum, and you might also want to consider Lemon Hart. The nose is light and authentic. I’m getting an admittedly mostly column distilled type of lighter Caribbean rum but I am not nosing anything “suspicious” which might suggest additives of any kind. It’s clean and light with a nice balance of toffee, vanilla and some quite “fresh” smelling oak spices and a touch of nutmeg and ginger.

It’s likely some of the rum in the bottle will come from Cruzan Distillery based at St Croix, US Virgin Isles. I’d also suggest maybe some Barbados and Trini rum is in there. Beyond that, I doubt there is any Jamaican or any kind of real Pot Still heavy rum or blend. It’s all just very column like. Light and a little sweet. Instructions: In your blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour in your glasses and garnish with grated nutmeg or shaved chocolate. Shake up any premade mix before pouring, as ingredients may have separated. Then pour the mix into the glass over the rum, all the way to the top of the ice. A perfect summer drink, Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri, is made with rum, sugar, and lime juice–one of the best thirst-quencher while at the beach. Sipped it’s a little rougher around the edges and it shows a fair bit of youth on the first sip. It’s fierier than the nose suggests with a slightly bitter edge to it and a fair hit of wood and oak spices. It has a slightly perfumed tastes as well particularly once the wood and fiery alcohol on the sip begin to fade.

Virtually unchanged since the ‘70s, The Soggy Dollar is a requisite stop for anyone sailing the Virgin Islands

Perhaps one of the most famous things from the British Virgin Islands, this Soggy Dollar painkiller recipe has been a popular drink for a long time. Originally made with Pusser’s rum, there are also hints of coconut taste. Honestly, how tropical could this one get? First of all, a bit of libation history. The classic Painkiller drink is made with Pusser’s Rum and the birth of the drink is attributed to Daphne Henderson at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the BVI’s. Instructions: In your blender, mix the rums and strawberries and blend. Rinse your blender, and combine pineapple juice, banana, and coconut cream; blend well.

Since then, the Painkiller drink has become a permanent part of my life. This is what we drink on perfect summer days by the pool, on the coldest winter days when we want to feel tropical, and of course, whenever we return to St. John for vacations. Actually, we drink Painkillers on every vacation, especially in the rare instance that we see one on a menu, like recently in Savannah.Finish off by grating fresh nutmeg on top. You can also use pre-grated nutmeg, although fresh will be more fragrant. It’s not particularly punchy or hefty but it’s a nicely balanced nose that doesn’t do much wrong to be fair. It doesn’t smell particularly old – I’d guess around 3-5 maybe lower in terms of the overall blend. It’s honest enough though and it isn’t a particularly pricy rum. Painkiller Martini — Although this is not exactly the original Soggy Dollar painkiller recipe, still, this one’s a pretty cool twist. Garnish with an olive and use tequila instead. Instructions: Pour all the ingredients into your blender, except the chunks, and blend until the mixture smoothens. Pour into your collins glass and garnish with banana chunks.

Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. When English bartender Daphne Henderson arrived on Jost Van Dyke — the smallest of the four main islands that make up the British Virgin Islands — in 1970, she found a stretch of pristine white beachfront that she presumably never wanted to leave. Pineapple and orange juice — If you wish, try using tropical juice instead of pineapple juice; something like mango, papaya, or maybe even guava juice would all do fine. And when it comes to orange juice, if you’d set your mind on finding a substitute, this time we’d recommend another citrus juice such as grapefruit, mandarin, and tangerine. Quite what the actual components are in this rum? I’m not sure quite what the “triple distillation” has added is lost on me. It’s probably dulled the flavours a fair bit. It sounds good when used in Vodka terminology but it’s a big turn off for any flavourful spirit that doesn’t rely on tasting of nothing. After sampling four different Painkiller drink recipes on three different islands, I found my personal favorite. If you can’t make to the islands for a true Painkiller drink, here’s how I found the best recipe. Soggy Dollar Painkiller Drink HistoryInstructions: Mix all the liquid ingredients over ice in your serving glass. Garnish with a fresh orange wheel, and enjoy. My first sample was served to me by a smiling young lady in a beach bar at Jolly Beach on the island of Antigua. Sandra’s beach bar is a fun spot practically on the beach and the drinks are reasonably priced. Simply shake ingredients except for the nutmeg together and pour it into a tall glass filled with ice.
