The last time I was on St. Thomas we took a catamaran snorkelling trip to St. John in the USVI. The crew mixed us up his famous "pain killers" on the way back to St. Thomas. After downing to of them in the 90 degree heat I quickly realized why he didn't dare give them to us on the way to the snorkeling beach. (we would have all drowned). One of our friends that was with us weighs in at about 275 and these power drinks even made this big guy sway a bit when we got back on dry land. Is the "pain killer" a unique drink to St. Thomas? I have looked up the recipes for it online but have yet found one just like those we had that day. Anybody knowwhere we can find it?
