Today we celebrate the birth of the US Navy. Now the Navy in general has strong roots in rum, so I thought it would be fitting to create a cocktail in honor of them. @liberandco also recently sent me a bottle of their Toasted Coconut Syrup, which I have been dying to try. So seemed like the perfect opportunity to create a cocktail that was navy strength (managed to 54%), smoky, and sweet. And yes, it's a riff on a painkiller.

Editor's Note

A high-octane Painkiller riff swapping in smoky mezcal and funky overproof rum. The intended toasted coconut syrup would bridge the potent spirits with bright tropical fruit.
