NOTES

The name of the Soggy Dollar Bar comes from the fact that there is no dock and you can only get there by swimming, so the dollars get wet on the way. Owner Daphne Henderson had the cocktail with Pusser’s rum on her menu and Pusser’s founder Charles Tobias thought the cocktail was so good that he later adopted it. The Painkiller Signature Drink from Pusser’s is now known around the world.
