What glass is a Painkiller served in?

A highball glass. A narrow column of liquid loses bubbles slowly, and a full load of ice keeps the drink cold without watering it down fast.

Is a Painkiller shaken or stirred?

Shaken. It contains citrus, juice, cream or egg, which need the force and aeration of shaking.

Roughly 320 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol and sugar.

Yes. Aged Rum is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.

Add the dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and cream of coconut to a shaker.
Fill with ice and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds.
