Kirk & Sweeney was in fact a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. Seized off the coast of New York in 1924 with a massive amount of rum aboard, the schooner was subsequently renamed Chase and pressed into duty as a Coast Guard trainer, serving until the late 1940's when it was retired and salvaged.

Painkiller Cocktail Recipe
So the legend goes, the Painkiller cocktail was invented in the 1970’s in the British Virgin Islands at a bar called Soggy Dollar Bar. It was originally made with Pusser’s Rum, a type of rum made using the British Royal Navy recipe. The drink was trademarked in the 1980’s so that if it’s included on a menu, it should include the traditional Pusser’s Rum. Of course if you’re making it at home, you can use any type of aged or dark rum - we won't tell anyone!
