The Pain Glass cocktail is a potent concoction that combines a diverse array of spirits - coconut rum, whiskey, vodka, gin, and tequila - each bringing its distinctive flavor to the mix. The coconut rum adds a tropical sweetness that counters the bold and robust notes of the whiskey, while the vodka provides a smooth, neutral base.
The gin's botanicals insert a complex, herbal touch, and the tequila introduces an earthy, somewhat peppery undertone. Cola is used to top off the drink, giving it a refreshing fizz and a familiar, caramel-like sweetness that ties the diverse spirit flavors together.
This cocktail is served in a classic cocktail glass, presenting an adventurous blend for those seeking a high-spirited and robust beverage experience.

FAQ's
How do I properly mix the ingredients for a Pain Glass cocktail?
To properly mix a Pain Glass cocktail, start by chilling your cocktail glass. Then, in a shaker filled with ice, combine the coconut rum, whiskey, vodka, gin, and tequila. Shake well until the mixture is cold, about 15-20 seconds. Strain the mixture into your chilled cocktail glass and top it off with cola. Given the diverse range of spirits, shaking not only chills the cocktail but also ensures a harmonious blend of flavors.
What is the best way to serve a Pain Glass for maximum enjoyment?
The best way to serve a Pain Glass is in a chilled cocktail glass to maintain its cold temperature, enhancing the drink's refreshing quality. Before pouring the cocktail, you could also rim the glass with sugar or a tiny bit of salt to add an extra layer of flavor. Serving it immediately after preparation ensures the fizzy quality of the cola is retained, making the drink more enjoyable.
How does the alcohol content in a Pain Glass compare to other popular cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 32.73%, the Pain Glass falls into the higher range of alcohol concentration compared to many classic cocktails. For comparison, a Margarita typically has around 20% alcohol by volume, while a Long Island Iced Tea, known for its high alcohol content, stands at about 22%. This makes the Pain Glass significantly stronger, and it should be enjoyed responsibly.
Can I substitute any ingredients in a Pain Glass cocktail without drastically changing its taste?
Yes, to an extent. If you're out of coconut rum, you might use plain rum with a touch of coconut extract as a substitute. Similarly, if you prefer not to use cola, ginger ale could be an alternative, though it would change the flavor profile slightly. It's important to stick closely to the original spirits (whiskey, vodka, gin, tequila) to maintain the cocktail's unique taste, but slight adjustments in mixers can be made according to preferences.
Is there a way to make the Pain Glass cocktail gluten-free?
Yes, ensuring a Pain Glass cocktail is gluten-free involves selecting spirits that are confirmed to be gluten-free. Most distilled spirits are naturally gluten-free, but it's vital to choose brands that guarantee their products are safe for those with gluten sensitivities, as some may be contaminated during processing. Always check the labels or consult the manufacturers' guarantees on gluten content before using them. Additionally, ensure that the cola and any other mixers used are also gluten-free.
