Curated this. To bring it in line with the citation, changed 1 1/4 oz mint to 1 1/4 oz mint infused cream. Changed 2 dashes mint to 2 dashes mint bitters. Removed copyrighted caption and replaced it with instructions for making the mint cream.

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

MOJO1229 commented on 6/19/2017:

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.
