The painkiller cocktail on the menu at Cheddar's sounded so good - and looked even better - however it contained alcohol and I do not drink.
However I love pineapple and coconut, so the flavor combination really intrigued me.
I also loved the way the drink looked.
Regular beverages just don't have the same fancy look and that has always bothered me.
You Can Order A Non-Alcoholic Version Of Cheddars Pain Killer Drink
Jeffrey encouraged me to ask if they could make a non-alcoholic version of the drink.
After much debate, I did ask, the waitress said yes and I chose to order it.
I did not realize the price for the non-alcoholic version was a lot less - and the cost was one of the reasons I was hesitating to try it.
Trying To Get The Painkiller Cheddars Recipe!
I absolutely loved it!
I asked for the recipe.
I was determined to figure out how to make Cheddars painkiller drink at home, mainly because the nearest Cheddars restaurant is over an hour away from home.
The waitress left to see if she could get the recipe, but when she returned she told me she could not give me the recipe.
I was upset, but I understood why.
I looked at the brochure, wrote down what was in the Cheddars painkiller cocktail and proceeded to do an online search for a non-alcoholic pineapple coconut drink on Pinterest.
I found several recipes that claimed to be copycat painkiller cocktail recipes.
I settled on one and then used my Perfect Drink Maker Pro to make sure I got the mixture just right.

How To Store The Painkiller Cocktail Recipe Ingredients
I recommend making the painkiller cocktail recipe one glass at a time for the best flavor.
To store the leftover pineapple juice, orange juice and cream of coconut, I recommend storing them in the refrigerator.
I did empty the cream of coconut that was left over into a glass container with a lid since mine came in a metal can.
I recommend doing the same with the pineapple juice if you are using some that was sold in a metal can.
It is not a good idea to store anything in the refrigerator in metal.
