I like tiki drinks.

Painkillers are incredible. I'll take 12.

measurements:

2 oz Dark Rum (preferably Pusser's Rum, as it's the traditional choice)
4 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Orange Juice
1 oz Cream of Coconut *Garnish: Grated Nutmeg and optionally a pineapple wedge or cherry

Instructions:

Combine Ingredients: In a shaker, add the dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut with ice.
Shake Well: Shake vigorously until well chilled.
Strain: Strain the mixture into a hurricane glass or large snifter filled with ice.
Garnish: Generously grate fresh nutmeg on top of the drink and, if you like, add a pineapple wedge or cherry for decoration.

I really like both the Jungle Bird and Artichoke Hold served on crushed ice as tiki drinks.

The Jungle Bird

1.5 oz Jamaican rum
.75 oz Campari
1 oz pineapple juice, preferably fresh
.5 oz lime juice
.5 oz Demerara syrup (1:1 sugar to water) Shake on ice and strain into crushed ice. Garnish: pineapple wedge and frond

Artichoke Hold:

0.75 oz Jamaican Rum preferably Smith & Cross
0.75 oz Cynar
0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur preferably St Germain
0.75 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Orgeat

Same as above, shake on ice and strain onto crushed ice.

The jungle bird is one of the greatest. I typically use blackstrap rum. I've even clarified it before with milk
