Description
This creamy, fruity, refreshing rum drink is the signature cocktail of the Virgin Islands. It's similar to a piña colada, only less sweet and more sophisticated, with rich, smooth, subtle flavors. A wonderful drink for a festive brunch or for cocktails on a summer night.

Notes
Nutmeg Grater: I use this grater for nutmeg. It also works for grating parmesan cheese and zesting lemons. Here's a good choice if you want a dedicated nutmeg grater.
How to make a pitcher of Painkillers: Use the proportions 4 parts pineapple juice, 2 parts rum, 1 part orange juice and 1 part coconut cream. Mix all the ingredients in a pitcher and pour into large, ice-filled glasses. For best results, chill the rum and the two juices the fridge for a few hours, before mixing. However don't chill the coconut cream because it will get solid and difficult to mix.
