Old Painless is Waiting

1 1⁄2 oz Light rum (Overproof; I used Privateer Tres Aromatique)
1 oz Coconut Water
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄4 oz Curaçao (I used Pierre Ferrand Dry, but any good curacao or triple sec will do)
6 dr Absinthe (Subsitute Herbsaint or pastis)
1 pn Nutmeg (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake all but the nutmeg with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Notes

The result is a lot more ethereal and closer to a Daiquiri than the classic Painkiller.

History

Inspired by my fresh batch of pineapple syrup, a recent purchase of coconut water, and Paul McGee's preference to remove orange juice from his tiki drinks at Lost Lake and sub in curacao.
