About the Painkiller
Created in the early 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. The bar is famous for guests swimming ashore with wet money. Pusser's Rum later trademarked the name.
The tiki family. Tiki began in 1933–34, when Ernest Gantt, later known as Donn Beach, opened Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood. He mixed several rums with fresh juices, syrups and spices into exotic drinks, and Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron followed in Oakland. Tiki boomed in the 1950s and 1960s, faded, and was revived by bartenders from the 2000s.
