A Painkiller is a rum cocktail often associated with the British Virgin Islands, its place of origin.

[1] The inventor may have been Daphne Henderson,[1] or George and Marie Myrick, previous owners of the Soggy Dollar.

When a Tiki bar named Painkiller opened in the Lower East Side of New York City in May of 2011, Pusser's sent a cease and desist order to owners Giuseppe Gonzalez and Richard Boccato, both for the bar's name and for selling Painkiller cocktails made with rums other than Pusser's.

[3] Gonzalez and Boccato reached an out-of-court settlement with Pusser's, which included them renaming the bar to PKNY.

In response to the news, numerous bartenders organized a boycott against Pusser's Rum.
