Drink that Cass and Jordan discovered in the Virgin Islands. A twist on the Piña Colada, the Painkiller is a rich and fruity cocktail that stays true to its name: It will cure what ails you. Made with dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and cream of coconut, the drink was created in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where the confluence of warm temperatures and vacation vibes necessitated cold, refreshing libations. And where, with no dock, dollars were bound to get wet as patrons swam ashore.

We spell it "ebelskiver" and call them "aiglestaigles" but the real spelling is "aebleskiver." Aebleskivers go back to our Danish heritage and are specifically Danish. This is the recipe we use which Mom got from Sister Bedurick, an old family friend. The SolvangUSA.com website also published the recipe and it is exactly the one we have used in our family for years. (The city of Solvang is the "Danish capital of America".) For historical purposes, I'm including a picture of the recipe Nana used and there are slight differences between this recipe and Nana's recipe: this recipe uses two eggs whereas Nana's uses three eggs; Nana uses 1 tsp of baking soda this recipe uses 1/2 tsp; Nana's recipe uses 1 tsp of baking soda, this one uses 2 tsp; lastly, this recipe includes 4 T of butter, Nana's doesn't use any. Use Nana's recipe below if you want to go the "original" recipe I grew up with. To read more about the history of aebleskivers, go to https://solvangusa.com/aebleskiver-history-recipe/
