Painless Killer Recipe

Prepare glass

Chill a double old-fashioned glass or a large tiki glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water while you mix the drink.

Combine ingredients

In a shaker, add 2 oz white rum, 0.5 oz aged rum, 1 oz passion fruit puree, 1.5 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz orgeat syrup, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 2 dashes orange blossom water, and the optional 0.25 oz simple syrup and 1 dash Angostura bitters if you prefer extra sweetness/complexity.

Dry shake

Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for 8–10 seconds to help emulsify the passion fruit and orgeat for a silkier texture.

Wet shake

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Assemble

Discard the ice/water from your chilled glass. Fill the glass with crushed ice, then double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the glass over the crushed ice to remove pulp and seeds while retaining texture.

Finish

Give 1–2 gentle stirs to integrate the drink with the crushed ice. If desired, add one additional dash of orange blossom water on top for aroma.

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a mint sprig placed on the rim, and a dehydrated lime wheel or a halved passion fruit floated on top for visual impact and aroma.

Serve with a short straw. Encourage the drinker to sip through the crushed ice to enjoy the layered flavors of passion fruit, pineapple, and the almond notes from orgeat with the floral lift of orange blossom.
