hey all i gotta a question for ya and the story goes like this....

a few years back the parents went on vacation to the bahamas and took us kids . a couple of my brothers and i stumbled upon a bar and found out that if we were holding cash they didnt care that we were under eighteen (i think the local drinking age). long story short... they had a drink there called a Boston Painkiller and we had lots of cash at the time. for the life of me i cant remember what was in it exactly(too many drinks ) but i think it went a little something like:
-151
-rum
-vodka
-grapefruit juice
-oj
basically i was wondering if any of you all had had this drink or better yet know how to make it. if not what are some really good or your favorite drink mixes and how do you make them???
just curious,
nick.

 

Never heard of the drink you're talking about but I believe 151 is Rum.

One of my favorite drinks when I want to stray from Bud, Vodka & Grapefruit or Margarita's is called a Tootsie Roll:

Shot of Vodka (best if you use good brand)
About 2 shots each of Kahlua & Cream
1 shot Orange Juice

Carlene

 

my mother owns a club in Iceland and is a Master Mixologist. i have heard my brother talk about the "painkillers" my mom makes at the club. next time i talk to either of them ill get the recipe for you. in fact, if you want ANY recipe for ANY drink on the planet, im sure i can get it for you.


as for my favs.....BEER! every now and then ill have a shot of good scotch on the rocks. OH, the flaming Dr.Pepper is great too! im not to big on fruity drinks.

 

GOT IT!

(From a travelog in the Bahama's)

Day 2 Sun Mar 4: Had breakfast at Moorings (buffet) then set off
around 9.30am. Motored out then set sail for North Sound Virgin
Gorda. [font color=blue] Made a pitcher of "Painkillers" from a (modified to
taste) recipe of 4,3,2,1 (Rum, Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice,
Cocoanut milk)[/font] Good winds and arrived at Leverick Bay, North Sound
at 2.30pm. Picked up a mooring. Happy hour at Pussers and ate at The
Lighthouse restaurant. We had wanted to start our "Pussers Triangle"
there but the restaurant is no longer affiliated with Pussers. Food
was good and a nice open air restaurant.

The term 'painkiller' is synonomous throughout the Carribean with any rum based drink. Rum is local product on many islands, similar to our microbreweries here. Painkiller receipes can and do vary from island to island, day to day and even from one drink to the next. If you've ever been there, you know what I mean.

There was a drink in the Philippine Islands that was similar to your painkillers. It was called "Mojo". Order a pitcher of that stuff, you could only order it by the pitcher, and you won't feel any pain or anything else. Not for drinking alone.

I heard on the radio of a man in England that makes a soup out of beer and cheeswiz. Anybody hear of that one?

 

i havent heard of that soup it sounds... interesting!

i have had beer/ beenie-weenies, not too bad

the one vivid memory of this drink was that it wasn't all that fruity (i'd rather have beer any day) but after the first sip you were clearly feeling no pain, had a weird numbing feeling throughout the body ...hence the name i guess.

have you all heard of that whiskey from canada called northern lights?? i can find it in a few stores here in CO, its by far the best, cheapest whiskey around. the only thing is that it comes in a plastic bottle, but damn i'll drink that stuff any day!!

Daily Driver: Beer and cheddar cheese melted = Welsh Rarebit usually served with toast points. The cheese whiz is just a variation of the old English recipe of Welsh Rarebit. I don't think the guy is all that creative. Besides, the English will eat some strange stuff.

As for the Bahamas, I owned property there and hung with many of the natives. Kalik beer seemed to be the beverage of choice but Rum is as common as water. It is good for coolers but the tourist seem to drink more of it than the natives.


The bars will pretty much serve anyone who even comes close to legal age. The rule of thumb is don't bother the cops and they won't bother you. Once you stir them up, you WILL have a problem. We would ordinarily just sail up to a beach and drop anchor. Swim into a bar and eat/drink. Finish up, then just swim back, and go our way.
One just carried some wet cash to the bar and I never saw anybody carded. Maybe in the resorts geared for the American tourist, ID was a must, but certainly not in the regular places. It was great fun.

Thanks for the heads up brien. Beer and melted cheese. I'd like to find a good recipe for that one.

Whiskey in a plastic bottle! LOL! That's gotta be some good stuff.
Kinda like wine in a cardboard box. Don't forget to recycle.

 

Whenever I go to a night club that doesn't serve Sam Adams' Boston Lager, I usually order "Godfathers". I believe it's made with 1/3 Amaretto, 2/3 scotch in a short glass on ice. Good drink I think. Is it beer thirty yet?

 

Daily Driver: Recipe for Welsh Rarebit is simple. Choose any cheddar cheese you like. Take 1/2 lb and cut it up into pieces that will melt quickly. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add 1/2 teaspoon Colemans dry mustard. Add some cayenne pepper and paprika to taste. Then just melt the cheddar slowly with the above ingredients in a double boiler. (A pot immersed in a larger pot of slightly boiling water) After the cheese in melted, add one beaten egg and 1/2 cup of your favorite beer. Continue stirring until you bring the chesse to a smooth consistency. Cook it by letting it bubble to get the beer taste incorporated to the cheese. Try not to eliminate the beer taste by overpowering with a heavy hand of herbs or spices. Pour into a oven proof dish, top with slices of fresh tomato, and shoot it under the broiler to brown the top. Don't burn it. Serve with any kind of toasted bread. Italian garlic, French, Bruchetta, etc. Stick the bread in the sides of the dish after you remove from broiler..

You can use the strongest tasting beer you like. The stronger and darker, the better for the flavor. You can also increase the amount of beer, but don't thin the cheese too much, and don't add it after it is thoroughly cooked. Double the recipe for more etc. Also, this is a high fat, and high cholesterol food. Beware, if you are on a restrictive diet. I call it the cholestrol express!
Most of all, don't forget to serve the cold beer to drink!. Happy eats!
