Spec

  • 2 oz Pusser's Navy Rum (per trademark, but house pour acceptable)
  • 4 oz Pineapple juice
  • 1 oz Orange juice
  • 1 oz Coconut cream (Coco López)
  • Grated fresh nutmeg

Build

Add all ingredients to a shaker. Whip-shake briefly with one cube to integrate. Pour into a tall glass or hurricane filled with crushed ice. Grate fresh nutmeg generously over the top.

Story

British Virgin Islands, Soggy Dollar Bar. Pusser's owns the trademark and has sued bars; we honor the spirit but use house pour for cost. The Pill Painkiller variant uses Pusser's.

Service note

Hurricane or tall glass, crushed ice, big nutmeg topping. The aroma of fresh nutmeg is essential — pre-ground is not acceptable.

Tasting notes

Tropical, creamy, warming with the nutmeg lift. Should not taste of suntan lotion.
