History

Unlike most "Polynesian-style" mixed drinks, the Dr. Funk is a genuine South Pacific classic. Made in Samoa around the turn of the 20th Century by Dr. Bernard Funk, physician to Robert Louis Stevenson among others, this "stiff drink of absinthe with lemonade or limeade" was a popular cooler throughout the islands. Adapted by Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic, and others during the height of the Tiki era into a grenadine and pastis highball, the good Doctor is updated here into a drink whose bright ocean hue is sure to bring a smile to the faces of whole groups of formerly blue men.

  • The monks make good stuff so this one is good too.
  • Better than Purgatory but worse than Pious Hand Grenade
  • Used Leopold Bro’s 3 Pins Alpine instead of Benectine. Used Laws Rye. Complex and interesting with a very nice cinnamon like finish - not the burn more like the feeling.
  • Added 0.25 oz Mezcal

One of those great cocktails to sip while listening to great jazz (e.g., Paul Desmond or Miles Davis). Very smooth; not mellow, just smooth. I used Rittenhouse rye (as I couldn't scrape up enough for the Old Overholt), but it worked like a charm.

I hesitated to make this drink because both Green Chartreuse and Benedictine can be overpowering ingredients. The Rittenhouse rye, however, kept both of them in check. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was the lemon zest--which is a must for this drink. I went a step further, and rubbed the rim of the glass with the lemon rind. It added a subtle but tasty layer to the other ingredients. I rated "The Wry Monk" at 4.5 (well deserved, I might add!).

Pink Yente

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Beefeater
1⁄2 oz Applejack, Lairds
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 Egg white
1⁄2 oz Red wine, Manischewitz (Manischewitz syrup)
Instructions

Combine all ingredients without ice in shaker and dry shake. Add ice, shake until frothy, double strain into coupe. Garnish with lemon peel or drops of Angostura bitters on top of foam.

Notes

To make Manischewitz syrup reduce Manischetiwz concord grape wine by half. Allow to cool. Can be used in place of grenadine or raspberry syrup in many cocktails.

Bert Cooper

1 1⁄4 oz Gin, Tanqueray
1⁄4 oz Meyer lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
3 oz Champagne
1⁄4 oz Crème Yvette (float)
2 twst Meyer lemon zest (one shaken, one as garnish)
Instructions

Shake gin, Meyer lemon juice, Meyer lemon zest, and Maraschino with ice; strain into a chilled Champagne flute with a Meyer lemon spiral at the bottom. Pour Champagne. Float Crème Yvette.

Notes

Green Chartreuse makes a good float too, if you'd like it to be more of a Royal Word than a high-flying Aviation. Regular old lemon would probably work well for those who don't like the thyme-y herbaceousness of Meyer zest. More austere and funky than a French 75; good for those who want something festive and effervescent but a bit more challenging.

I'm a big fan of the Aviation, and this is an interesting spin on it. Recommending doubling maraschino to 1/2 oz (that's how I take my Aviation as well).

Couldn't get the Yvette to float, it tends to plummet to the bottom. Still works, though.

Yeah, I say "float" but most times I can't get these heavy liqueurs to stay above the rest of the drink (pouring them slowly down a barspoon helps). It's more of a "sink" I guess. Thanks for trying it!

Against All Odds Cocktail

1 1⁄2 oz Irish whiskey, Bushmill's
1 1⁄2 oz Chardonnay (Channing Daughters Scuttlehole)
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur, Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot
1⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Clément Créole Shrubb
1 rinse Mezcal, Ilegal Reposado
1 Pansy flower (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into Mezcal-rinsed coupe, garnish.

Notes

Named for the seemingly incompatible list of ingredients, as well as, one can only hope, Phil Collins' solo masterpiece, which is more commercial than his work with Genesis and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way.
