    You sure don't like the regular painkiller cocktail, and I'm here for whatever other variations you share with us 😂

    Thanks for the video!
    Is there any difference between a "Guyanese" rum and a "Demerara" Rum?
    It would be interesting to try this with El Dorado 5 or 8. At 3/4 an ounce with the mix of other ingredients I wonder if you would even notice a difference.

    The Sonando is nothing like a Painkiller. To call it a riff is a bit of a stretch. It looks delicious though

    Every time I find a recipe I like or want to try I have to buy like 5 different more bottles of rum lol. I like the original recipe so I’d be curious to,try the first one and last one.

    Nice to see some cachaça back in the spotlight!

    Painkiller is the best cocktail i need more of them .

    That Cachaca is very similar to Copalli.

    Love these variations. The painkiller is probably one of my wife's top 3, so it gets played here. I like them, but can only handle 1, because of the sweetness. Also a firm believer that though classic, pusser's is not the best rum for that drink. Always changing it up.

    Great video, I love the variations on a theme. The Chad Austin version looks fun to try- anything to put passion fruit syrup in!

    Wonderful video! Can't wait to make the PKNY. Also, what is the name of the song you play at the end of the video?

    4 ounces of pineapple juice always scares me away from the painkiller. So glad to try these!

    I visited The Lost Inferno a couple months ago. It's a Goonies themed tiki bar in San Clemente. It definitely tastes like they added a little nutmeg into the drink. It was a very nice touch.

    All their drinks were incredible, btw.

    Speaking of substitutions…I still can't find Coruba and I am in Texas where you can't order alcohol by mail. What is close. My go to for dark is Diamond Dark right now.

    These sound good, but still stand by my variation – 2 oz Plantation Pineapple rum, 1 oz dry curacao, .5oz lime juice, 4 oz pineapple, 1 oz coco real coconut cream, barspoon allspice dram, 5 drops saline, dust w fresh nutmeg.

    El Dorado 12 is my go to for Demerara
    Just the right balance between sweet and aged

    I’m hitting like on this video before it even starts! The original has always been way too sweet. Looking forward to this 😊

    Derek, it's watching videos like these that make me want to take out a home equity loan to finish my basement into my very own tiki bar. Then stock it with every bottle I can find.

    • 4 months ago

    You continue to knock it out of the park. Another great video. I have so many things on the list that I need to try. 😂

    Hey Derek – are you using fresh juiced OJ in this? Im curious if a high quality store bought OJ could hold up in these cocktails the way a fresh juice would. Im going to make the Sonando later today!

    I luv u

    Whoa, that Sonando is out of this world. The grassiness of an unaged cane juice really lifts what could be a heavy drink. Thanks for sharing that recipe–going to be a new favorite.

    • 4 months ago

    Sonando sounds like a play on the classic (nonalcoholic) drink Morir Soñando (die dreaming), which is i think Dominican and combines orange and evap/condensed milk maybe.

    • 4 months ago

    Just tried making the Sonando, but using Rum Fire for the overproof and 1.5oz of Barbancourt Haitian Proof for the cane juice rum and it was absolutely phenomenal.

    • 4 months ago

    Great trio!! Will make the Sonado with Cachaça

    • 4 months ago

    GREAT video ! Fan of the modernized tiki cocktail format. More please. We tried the Sonando and PKNY today. PKNY was fantastic, but the Sonando was the test department’s (wife) favourite. The Lime, Passion fruit, Vanilla and Wrey & Nephews is a magical combo. Highly recommend this.

    Using cachaca in the sonado probably ends up landing it near a batida

    You have the best Tiki channel on YouTube without a doubt! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge// Painkiller has been my new favorite drink since watching but these new recipes will be fun to try!

    I'm a Newey in Tiki. I'm really fascinated. One thing in don't understand yet,is all rum varieties. I get it , it's a huge category, but still, I'd love a video about what makes a rum being in one sub- category or other, basically Id like to understand how sub one for other rum , even knowing it's not exactly the same. Great channel, thanks!!

    Another good one that I would add to list is Tradewinds 🙂

    • 4 months ago

    The painkiller I make..
    2oz pussers rum
    1oz mandarin juice fresh squeeze
    4oz pineapple juice
    1 1/4 cream of coconut coco lopez

    I was literally just playing around today trying to make a frozen painkiller, mixing the Ts PKNY and pina recipe. Used Hamilton potstill black as well as Demerara was pretty nice

    • 4 months ago

    OG painkiller is a boring tiki drink, especially if they aren’t fresh juices (pineapple is a pain). Stoked for these!

    • 4 months ago

    I use 2oz of O.F.T.D.

    • 4 months ago

    These all look Great! But boy do I really want pebble ice machine now
