This is the official drink of the British Virgin Islands. The best Painkiller we had was on Jost Van Dyke - White Bay at the Soggy Dollar bar.

Tequila Driver by Joe Schmelzer

Tequila and OJ with a splash of lime. I taught a bartender in Germany how to make this drink one night, and everyone was partying, and hammered!! It was a hit.
