A Drink from Paradise, the Painkiller | How to Drink

- If you like Piña Coladas... you'll LOVE a Painkiller. Most of America partied a bit too hard last night and is in pain, so drink these.
**********************************
The Painkiller is a drink with a clearly defined history. It was invented in the 70's at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost van Dyke, a so-called Sailor's Paradise in the British Virgin Islands. The bar supposedly got it's name because it's not accessible from the land, only by sea, so folks would wade in for a drink and pay with their soggy cash.
The drink is sort of like a more sophisticated version of a Piña Colada, there's no blender involved, but that's not saying TOO much. It's still a very sweet boozey treat that is hard to miss with. Everyone loves these things.
The Soggy Dollar is a bar I hope to visit some day, and hopefully sooner rather than later. As I mention in the video I'm an aspirant sailor, Just gotta buy that boat...
In the meantime though I enjoy watching Gone with the Wynn's, and you should too. Check out their channel via the link in the pinned comment.

Just made this exact recipe using the plantation 5 two days ago. So good! Worked well with 2oz for me
How To Drink Love the Channel! Can’t wait to try this one, as usual. Maybe one day you will give your take on the Mexican Firing Squad?
PLOT TWIST: Grind a painkiller (not complicated stuff; paracetamol, ibuprofen etc.) in mortar and pestle, add to the mix.
have a look at sailing la vagabonde. My favourite youtube sailing channel
Love the Wynn’s, love the Soggy Dollar, love your channel too and finally love my rum drinks. Can’t wait to make this one.
"Unless you're making a big big batch."
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware there was any other way.
I, too, am the type to make a drink according to the largest amount of perishable present
This channel is slipping. He's not spilling booze anymore.
"Greg must be sober" - my wife watching this.
I was thinking the same thing! Why isn't he spilling and slopping the liquids anywhere but into the glass?!
Maybe he got tired of having sticky hands after every episode?
The more he drinks the less he spills (and squirts lemon in his eye See - (F)Rosé episode :P)
to be honest, i really like him not spilling the precious liquids anymore - love the content, but the spilling somehow made me really uncomfortable :D
Greg's editor is reaching similar levels of sass to whoever edits It's Alive with Brad Leone.
Benzedrine Shapiro isn’t Greg an editor by trade, and lives in or close to NYC? Maybe Greg edits It’s Alive!
Matt Alward 'Tis 'ol Hunziker alas
This aged like milk
Taylor B in what way? Brad has been basically unscathed by the controversy
Taylor B seriously, wtf does that mean?
Thanks for the love! You're going to have to get over the flying thing. Here in the islands they make fresh coconut cream (slap yo' mama good) that would kick that painkiller up one more notch! Plus, we're down to our last bottle of bourbon, almost out of gin and totally out of luxardo cherries...so we could use a visit from the good ol' USA. Meet you in Tonga?
Looking for a good painkiller rum recommendation and reddit sent me back to the episode and now I need to know if this ever happened? Is Greg still hoping to get a boat? Did the Wynns get more luxardo cherries?! (BTW if you haven't tried Fabbri Amarena cherries you absolutely should)
"I would love to own a boat"
Patron link comes up... Well played 😂
The two happiest men in the world:
o The one who just bought a boat.
o The one who just sold a boat. (Or simply scuttled it.)
[First heard in re "sports car".] [["House" can also work.]]
Agent 1110 can confirm
*Doesnt spill a single drop*
Everyone: Wtf
Talib Patrick Good catch!! It’s probably because he filmed 20 episodes that day and can pour better three sheets than stone cold.
He shoots several videos a day.. This was probably the first this filming day
@@olafvanrijnsbergen1177 He actually says in this episode that he had already shot 20 episodes that day
"But ...why is the rum gone?"
" Greg filmed 20 episodes back to back. He's currently passed out."
"DAMN IT GREG!!"
🍹
lol, I don't pass out man
@@howtodrink what ever you say.🙄
@@howtodrink missed the opportunity to say that there was a sofa in the room behind the camera and that's what it was for....
Have you had the idea for a video about going into a liquor store and buying the cheapest alcohol you can get and make the best cocktail you can? Just a suggestion
As opposed to getting the most expensive liquor and making the worst drink?
Agent 1110 that would be hilarious. “I mixed $1000 of fine whiskeys and wines and now it’s completely undrinkable. I don’t know what you people wanted.”
@@bransonfleischman2233 I kinda love this idea.
@@bransonfleischman2233
This idea was inspired by a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless... but we can refer to him as "Barrag".
His "duty", as it were (he being the personification of altruism), was to orbit the pub, making sure no abandoned Potent Potable grew lonely or evaporated.
As such a drink is, necessarily, frightening and will 'F You Up!'... I dub it: Barrag's Balrog.
@@howtodrink
... Hmmm...
The tasting notes would be particularly interesting.
Just how do you react to something that is __supposed__ to taste bad when it does?
You forgot the Townsend’s shout-out when you were grating nutmeg...
I had to come to comments just to make sure this was mentioned. At least he didn't put cayenne on it :D
time to get Rude & Clamorous
@@Finwolven With cayenne on it, he would have to give a shout-out to Chef John!
Welcome to the nutmeg~ wait.
Hell yeah, big shouts out to Big Pimpin Townsend's, the Lord of nutmeg
You didn’t spill any ingredients! What’s going on? Are you sober or drunk? 🤣
Ingredients no. But from shaker to glass he managed to a bit.
He seems to spill less the more drunk he gets
@@cleverusername9369
Do you remember the WKRP in Cincinnati episode with Doctor Johnny Fever taking the sobriety test?
He seems to always be some form of buzzed from the start of a video
@@its1110 Where he gets faster and more accurate with each drink, right?
I wanted you all (Greg and everybody behind the scenes) to know that stumbling onto this episode (and consequentially this channel) was my intro to the world of incredible rums, especially those of the funky Jamaican variety. From the first sniff of my first bottle of Smith and Cross, literally it was as though I used to love it and then got knocked on the head and suffered from amnesia and forgot all about one of my favorite things for a decade or so., and that first sniff brought back all of my cherished memories and wonderful imbibing experiences with it all at once. And for that I thank everybody who brings this content to life.
Finally made this. Oh. My. God. It's one of the best things I've ever tested. Legitimately. It's absolutely insane.
Thanks so much Greg, don't know what I'd do without you.
This was my simultaneous intro to:
1. The channel
2. The Painkiller
3. Good rum (i.e. not Bacardi Silver or Captain Morgan)
To say this video was a paradigm shift for me would be such an understatement :)
Judging from how Greg fails to say "Soggy Dollar Bar", I'd guess he likes O Brother Where Art Thou?
Hot damn! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys!
Why they ain't even old timey!
He doesn't want Fop, goddamn it, he a dapper Dan man!
Why ain't this place just a mixological oddity! Two ounces from everywhere!
is that Dapper Dan
“I think we can fit it all without having to gate it”
Giant ice chunk: Hold my pineapple leaf..
Soooo...please write a book or a blog or a searchable database of some sort. I would love to have all of your recipes codified in a volume of sorts...or whatever. Great work as always. Way to make mixology accessible to the masses, myself included.
Damn man I knew you shot multiple episodes a day, but 20?! You're a madman. I'm surprised you aren't more sloshed tbh
1:27 Today the on screen flavor text editor was the one "singing". I saw cream of coconut at the store the other day and I'm glad I watch this show because I finally knew what it was, thanks to the Piña colada episode!
Coconut cream is very useful in "cooling" foods that are too spicy-hot. Speaking of which are we going to get spicy-hot cocktails? There's a restaurant near me that has a tequila, tangerine, and habanero cocktail that's great.
Fabrisse ter Brugghe no one asked that
l1ttleguy1 Fabrisse asked! And I’m asking now too 😂 I could go for a spicy cocktail! A Mexican place by me has a charred jalapeño pineapple margarita and it’s delish. I would love to see Greg’s spin on a spicy drink.
One of my favorite episodes ... love Soggy Dollar and love that you were deep into filming... keep up the great videos!
I know I’ve said this before but really… thank you for being so genuine, I really love your channel and videos and I watch them all the time and I rarely even drink. Thank you, keep up the good work.
"Wakes up hungover from 4th of July"
Oh Shit new tiki drink, time to have a painkiller for breakfast.
This sounds like everything I need in my life.
Also, Editing Greg needs to stop slurpshaming
Bar Tending at a swim up bar sounds like the ultimate fantasy job. Love your channel.
Oh my goodness, I requested this drink and you made it! It looks amazing and I definitely saw about three things I've been doing wrong trying to make these at home. I'll give them another shot! Thank you so much!
Rum, coconut, and pineapple. You're speaking my language.
Oh fuck yea
Been subbed for more than a year now. Loved all your drinks but this is the one cocktail I’ve been waiting for. Definitely worth the wait!
Just made this for the first time ever and OMG! It is perhaps the best thing I've ever drank! I am in love! Love your channel! Watching you make cocktails soothes me at the end of a long day!
FWIW, and I can't tell if anybody else corrected it below, but it's pronounce Yoast (like Toast) Van Dyke, not Josst Van Dyke, even though it is spelled Jost Van Dyke. I do like the mispronunciation of Pusser's (not Prusser's) because ef those guys.
Soggy Dollar Bar isn't the best bar on that rock, though. That title belongs to Foxy's Tamarind in Great Harbour. Best Piña Colada I've ever had, and the atmosphere is like nothing else.
Edit: LOVE LOVE LOVE Gone with the Wynns. Every Sunday morning I eagerly await their posts.
Man, thank you so much for this one Greg! Decided to give it a go because it looked great, and I figured without the rum it would make for a good mocktail for my pregnant wife. Loved it, but ( and I'm ashamed to admit this) I think the virgin version might actually be tastier. Awesome content as always, and I'm sure this will never get seen by anyone, but thank you!
My dad has wanted this as a Christmas Day drink for ages now, no idea why, but it was so nice to see my fave cocktail channel show me how it’s done.
I just recently found your channel and because of it and because of you I see the real beauty and art in cocktails and it has inspired me to want to start learning how, so thank you!
Just finished making one, and let's just say I'll be making alot more of these! Great on hot summer days!
"Not even a nice boat. Just one that won't sink."
Had me laughing to tears!
A while back I learned about a drink called a painkiller and looked it up. That search brought me to this episode and I've been watching ever since! Love the channel, love the drinks you teach us how to make, and love the culture around the channel! Thanks for helping us learn more about what's out there. I've been a neat whiskey guy for a while as well, but having a cocktail here and there is really nice.
I thoroughly enjoy learning and this channel scratches that itch with great commentary and awesome personality. Keep it up, Greg!
I just made this cocktail for the first time. Its absolutely amazing!!!
Thumbs WAY up for Friends in Low Places. Always a good thing when a drink makes you sing! ❤
I like the cover by CZcams group Home Free! It’s justice got that melting on the beach vibe.
OMG that Rum pour was amazing!
Made this exactly as described and it was fantastic. Four Thumbs Up!
My family is in love with this recipe. I have been making these all day for them.
Hi Greg, I’m Greg. Long time listener, first time caller. Thank you for the awesome channel! You have the perfect amount of charm, sarcasm, and anti-authoritarianism to keep me coming back. This video was a joy to watch and very helpful in making my first Painkillers.
"Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He is half man and half machi--"
Oh, wrong Painkiller.
Honestly. I expected that to be the intro.
I clinically need to hear Greg attempt to sing like Halford.
@@stephenperry779 A heavy metal themed cocktail episode or two would be excellent as well. We already know what the drink for Motorhead would be though ;)
Nothing wrong with listening to Judas Priest while sipping your fancy cocktail. 🤘
@@warped_rider Motor Oil?
From a couple of Aussies, we think that you are the greatest addition to you tube since the invention of alcohol, luv ya mate!!!!!
Love your videos! So happy to stumble upon your channel ^^ keep up the awesome work
Another great episode, you can never go wrong with a painkiller
I FINALLY got around to making this drink. OMG the best tropical drink I’ve ever had. Made it exactly as instructed in your tutorial 🥰only change is I made my own coconut cream(easy peasy) thanks! I’m off to make another lol
Been binge-watching your content and this is my fave episode so far! Love the sassy editor.
Totally making this today!
This looks good for sure.
Made myself one with 2 oz of rum, downed it within a half hour and now I’m buzzed. My new summertime drink ☀️
a good trick with the coco lopez is to dump it in a blender and mix it up a bit before storing it. It removes any solidified junks and keeps smooth in the fridge
My last comment I left you was about this drink....It’s here! It’s finally here!! Thank you soooo much!!!! I can’t wait to recreate your recipe!
God bless you for showing me this drink. Also thank you for introducing me to Plantation 5 year. Love this rum, great price and great middle of the road rum imo.
Stared making this as one of my first drinks and now, whenever I get tired of making other drinks, I fall back on this one. Every time I drink it I say the same thing you did here, "oh my God that's good". It's amazingly delicious.
I've been barbacking at a Casino/hotel and you have more love and interest then the majority or bartenders there man. You're great and thanks for the videos! :)
Whoever is in charge of the subtitles is killing it and me haha
I seriously can’t stop watching this channel! Keep it up 👍🏽
Yes! Asked for this one a while back. Glad we finally got it!
Also, they don't use Pusser's anymore; it's strictly their own brand now.
This made me desperately crave coconut cream and pineapple juice frothed together, so I went and bought both and made use of my blender. I wasn't really in the mood to drink though, so it remained a virgin frothy, slushy pina colada type drink.
Use Bumbu Rum if your looking for a different rum its amazing especially for a Painkiller.
Bumbu is incredible! Would love to see a bumbu based cocktail recipe...looking your way Greg.
I am so freaking happy you made a painkiller!! My wife and I learned they existed a month ago on our honeymoon in St Thomas and we were positively giddy when we first had one. Subscribed, love the channel bro 👊
Love watching your videos. Informative, interesting, “historical “ and a great lesson in bar drinks. Thanks. Sigue pa lante senor. 💃🏻
I normally don't drink "Tiki" drinks but this is the best Island drink I have ever had. I am in LOVE with this cocktail. So so good, this is gonna be a dangerous one.
This looks like a perfect ‘medicinal tonic’
One of my new favorite drink episode of HTD.
“Emotionally available cocktail” 😂❤️🍹
FanTAStic episode
I just made this cocktail and oh boy. I have been missing out. I have a lot of pain. This is the nutmeg flavoured coconut remedy. Thank you, Greg.
I think y'all got the math wrong on that metric conversion. If the drink is supposed to be 1oz oj, 1oz cream of coconut, 4 oz of pineapple juice and 2oz of rum, then the conversion should be 30ml oj and coconut, 60ml rum and *120* ml pineapple on account of 120 being twice 60.
That, or every metric user who ever went to the Soggy Dollar fuckin' LOVES pineapple juice.
Holy crap, 20 episodes in one day? That's madness!
This was the first shaken drink that I've ever made. I love it. Thanks for making it for me.
Thank you for helping me discover Smith & Cross. It’s my favorite rum as well!
Tasting notes in this one was fun.

This episode and most Friday episodes best listened to on the drive home from work
Ah, I loved this one because I learned so much about my favorite tropical cocktail ever. I especially appreciated all your descriptors, giving me the words I didn't have. I'm always telling friends I love the "savory" element of this drink, which produces consternation in them. But I know you get it.
I loved this one too
Someone mentioned a lovecraftian drink. I suggested a dark & stormy with a twist of something toxic and tasty.
What's your solution?
Edit: i subscribed. You rock.
Dark and stormy with a float of a bitter herbal liqueur? Kinda like a Harvey Wallbanger
@@kster809 I would want something with dark rum, squid ink and/or Absinthe. What is more lovecraftian than a pitch black salty sea-tasting squid drink, and what is more lovecraftian than a mysterious deep green herbal drink that allegedly makes you see strange creatures and cut off your own body parts? :P
(Disclaimer: no shade to Absinthe, the Absinthe scare was a mix of fabrication and alcohol poisoning and not the wormwood itself, and Van Gogh didn't cut off his whole ear. But still)
The taste should be indescribable
@@kster809 Dark and Stormy with a Cynar float. Tasty, but just weird enough to keep you confused with each sip.
@@BrianHCohen At first I thought you said "cyanide" float, and I mean, you wouldn't be WRONG...
God I love Painkillers, mostly No.2 & 3.
A combination of dry, dark Rum, say Havana 7and funky stuff like Smith&Cross is incredible.
Wow, Greg! Your pouring skills are getting so much better!
looks tempting and refreshing
I'm not a fan of coconut or pineapple or rum, but Greg's flavour notes for this one were nothing short of passionate art.
So I guess you're sort of left with orange juice... and nutmeg of course.
@@its1110 BRING ON THE HALLUCINATIONS, BABY!
@@CyrusdVulture
You may be the other half of my brain...
Whoever brainstorms these tasting notes deserves "Sailboat" money
Had a chance to go to white bay and the soggy dollar bar just yesterday! So fun!
Thanks for this. I started making them at home about once a week after watching this. The nutmeg makes such a huge difference.
Was wondering if you could make a drink after my all time favorite TV show M.A.S.H
Made a Painkiller with Smith & Cross and can attest to its greatness! Also found a squeezeable cream of coconut product that worked very nicely, “Simply Squeeze Coco Reàl”. Terrible name, but great results.
LOVE IT. I may try to do this in the beach bar im working. Hello from Greece
Tried it tonight it is now one of my favorites so glad I tried it.
Now that we've seen the Painkiller, how would a "Max Paynekiller" go, substituting the rum for a whisky and adapting it around that? Thought it might be an interesting take, since the last we see of Max is him relaxing at a bar on a beach in Bahia, and his signature drink is a fictional whisky.
Great idea!
Something tells me Max might also be a wild turkey guy.
Also, there's a drink called the Bob Hope (or at least, thats the name I know it by) that I've modified.
1 1/2 oz Malibu (or your preferred coconut rum)
3/4 oz of Blue Curacao
2 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Cream
Mix equal parts Blue Curacao and water in a separate cup. Nothing fancy, I usually just swirl them together in a plastic cup and set it to the side.
Then, shake your coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cream over ice. Pretty sure if you use Coconut Creme it'd be better, but I work at a dive bar so we don't get that fancy.
Pour into a chilled coup glass (or don't. I don't judge that much) and carefully layer your watered down Curacao mix over the back of a bar spoon. Then watch as it slowly filters down anyway, say "screw it," and drink it anyway.
I love that you love them. Been watching them for a long time and was thinking they’d love this drink.
Had one tonight at the movies and absolutely loved this drink! Gonna have to try and make it at home sometime, thanks Greg.
New video? Insta-like! Love you and your videos Greg!
Shout out to the editing staff for the great subtitles
I've been watching through your catalogue of videos and you've got yourself a fan and subscriber! Love the gaming and film themed drinks, I love a good drink myself so I'll be trying some of these out 🤘🔥🤘
Made it.....boy its good. Thanks for the recipe!
I literally ran out and got everything I need for painkillers last night. I’m amateur bartending a party next weekend and I was looking for a good summertime signature cocktail
This won’t miss
Why didn’t you sing Painkiller by Judas Priest and rock an all leather outfit?????? SHAME SIR!!!!!
Though I've seen Priest live... I'm not the hugest fan, so this one escaped me.
Had one on a sailboat in st Thomas that was one of my favorite drinks ever. I kept thinking it was a mind eraser but that wasn't it. TY. I found it.
A float of Meyers on top... perfection. Love your show.
I love how u describe your drinks it's like Remi from Ratatouille
my main inspiration really!
I'm desperetly in love with coconut cream. You could put that on anything, and I'd eat it.
One of the best drink mixing videos I have seen in a while 🥰
Made this drink and didn't even notice we had the same rocks glass until after I took a sip! Delicious cocktail and great video!!
