Tobias and Daphne became good friends, and both agreed that the only rum that worked with the drink was Pusser’s because its full rich taste could punch through the scintillating mix of cream of coconut, pineapple, and orange juices of the Painkiller. Tobias was duly impressed with the constant flow of patrons who would anchor and swim ashore just to imbibe her delightful cocktail creation “The Painkiller”! One Sunday, Charles Tobias, the Pusser’s founder, and resident on the nearby main island of Tortola where he was bottling Pusser’s Rum, paid a visit to Daphne and the Soggy Dollar as he was curious to see what she was doing with the prodigious amounts of Pusser’s Rum that she was regularly ordering. It was owned by Daphne Henderson, a delightful and witty, middle-aged English lady. The Soggy Dollar was so named because there was no dock you had to swim in to get to it.
It was located on a long stretch of desolate, uninhabited white sandy beach, protected by a coral reef providing a cozy anchorage for visiting yachts. The Painkiller Cocktail originated in the early 1970’s at the tiny, 8-seat Soggy Dollar Bar, at White Bay in the British Virgin Island.
