The Origin of the Name Pusser's?
The name “Pusser’s” is nothing more than a corruption of the word, “Purser”! On board ships in the British Navy, the ship’s stores were distributed to the seamen by the Purser, thus the rum “tots” served daily were called the “Pusser’s” rum.
For more than 350 years, the British Royal Navy issued these daily rum tots on board all their ships, a tradition which ended on July 31, 1970-- known internationally as “Black Tot Day”. The British Admiralty granted the recipe and brand name to Pusser’s Rum Limited in 1979.
The Pusser's Painkiller®
Widely known as the official drink of the BVIs - and now Florida! Our signature cocktail, the Pusser's Painkiller® is a delightful blend of Pusser's Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cream of coconut, served on the rocks with an orange slice and a cherry, then topped off with freshly grated nutmeg. No other rum punches through like Pusser's - which was recently voted on of Forbes Magazine's 10 Most Remarkable Rums of the World, and was also a Double Gold Medal Winner in the San Fransisco Spirits Competition.
