Everyone gets a little down as summer fades, and even though Columbus Day brought us a little joy with plenty of sales to stock up on nightlife couture, we’re still feeling the dread of the steamy season‘s end, at least until now. Haru, one of New York City’s most notable sushi bars, has debuted their newest cocktail, named the Painkiller, to beat those unwanted blues. Based on the traditional aperitif, Haru’s remedy combines a healthy dose of rum, pineapple, and orange juices, as well as a touch of velvety coconut cream. Topped with a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg and a juicy cherry on top, the Painkiller is a tropical elixir that’s certain to take you away to sunny Caribbean islands, making fall breezy and easy!
