The Painkiller carries unusual baggage for a tropical drink created in paradise. Those issues stem from contested origin stories — something we encounter quite frequently here at Cocktail College — and intellectual property wrangles (not quite so common).

We're joined by filmmaker, storyteller, and poet Zachary Marlow, who tells us about his personal journey in relation to alcohol consumption. He shares how he was driven to drink to escape the alienating aspects of our capitalist hellscape, relating this addictive drive to society's destructive addiction to capitalism.

This project is closely tied to the work of the Moneyless Society nonprofit, which is actively building out a networking and resource hub through which people can use their skills to satisfy the needs of society without the exchange of money.

Wash pineapple thoroughly, then peel it and remove all of the rind so that your pineapple ends up completely yellow. Save the flesh of the fruit, chopping it into chunks and freezing them to use later.In a large pot, heat ~1 litter of water, add the piloncillo and spices and allow it to boil. Lower heat and stir frequently until piloncillo is dissolved. Turn off the heat & allow to cool until it reaches room temperature. Add the remaining water and pineapple rind to the piloncillo water and stir. Transfer the Tepache to a container and cover with a piece of cloth or cheesecloth that will allow it to breathe but will keep insects out. Tie a string tightly around the mouth of the container to make sure that the cloth will stay in place. Place in a warm corner of your kitchen, away from drafts, open windows, AC units or vents. The natural yeast present in the rind will ferment the drink! It'll take ~ 3 days to ferment.Fine-strain into a clean container.

The guys get together to talk the famous and oft misunderstood, Puerto Rico’s own, Piña Colada. You’ll need pineapple juice, coconut cream, maybe Coco Lopez or we’ll tell you how to make yourself, thank you Smuggler’s Cove cocktail book, pick your preferred cocktail rum, you can do white, you could do dark, you could mix them all together, and maybe some lime juice to balance out the sweetness of the drink. You could blend it or you could shake it up with ice, using a shaker, a jigger and your own resilience! Ben talks his first piña colada flavored Slurpee at 7-Eleven as a boy, then enjoyed a virgin colada on vacation with the fam as a boy, but as a trained professional bartender, the piña colada only recently came into his purview. The Sunny Spot in Venice has an unreal slushy machine version of the piña colada that changed Ben’s mind. You can make it with the canned goods, the pineapple juice and the Coco Lopez coconut cream, or you can chef it up, make your own pineapple juice, peeling the pineapple, slicing out the core, chop it up, add water and blend it before using a sieve to strain it, and then if you’re interested, you could turn the pineapple pulp into a garnish by seasoning it with sugar and acid, dehydrate and then season to taste. Blow your friends’ minds with that! Or you could make a pineapple shrub if you’re so inclined. And then for coconut cream, buy coconut milk, maybe at a Thai grocery store, or your local Whole Foods, equal parts coconut milk and a rich syrup, two parts sugar to one part water(400 grams of sugar to 200 grams of hot water plus one can of coconut milk), it’s sweeter than simple syrup, but richer in texture that adds to the creaminess of the coconut milk. Try making your own, it can be used to sweeten your coffee, put it on fruit, over ice cream, it’s just a great stock fridge item that will preserve for a few weeks! But without the rum, there’s no cocktail! Try a rum that appeals to you, maybe something that is easy to get, maybe there are multiple rums you want to use, it’s up to you!!! Quality is important though, the nicer your ingredients, the nicer the cocktail. Take the tiki route, grab your 151 Bacardi, maybe a three year rum from Real McCoy, or surprise yourself! Check out Andy Ricker, proprietor of the great Pok Pok, makes a vinegar cordial, specifically a thai basil cordial that kim uses for his recipe that goes well with pineapple and coconut. Try Ben’s recipe, 2 ounces each of coconut cream and pineapple, equal parts, half ounce of lime juice to balance out the sweetness and two, maybe two and a half ounces of rum, and shake it up. If you’re blending it, maybe three ounces of pineapple, an ounce of coconut cream, up to an ounce of lime juice, two and a half ounces of rum and try it with a pinch of salt, so good when blended! We really love the piña colada and we hope you do too as you listen to another episode of Equal Parts: A Bartending Podcast about Cocktails!
