“The Passionfruit Painkiller is a modern adaptation of the legendary Painkiller, invented in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands by Daphne Henderson. The original was later popularized by Charles Tobias of Pusser's Rum. The passion fruit variation emerged organically during the craft cocktail renaissance of the early 21st century, as bartenders began experimenting with classic tiki recipes. One notable modern variation is the "Sonando" by Chad Austin, featured in *Minimalist Tiki*, which showcases the creative potential of the Painkiller template with passion fruit elements.”
