How to make a Painchiller

Add mezcal, pineapple juice, orange juice, cream of coconut and bitters to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard until the coconut is fully integrated and cold.
Strain into a crushed-ice-filled tiki mug or hurricane glass.
Grate fresh nutmeg over the surface and garnish with pineapple.
