  • Very good but the Columbia Cocktail (Trader Vic's) is both simpler and better.
  • Used Imbibe recipe: 2 oz rum 1 oz PF curacao 1/2 lime 1 tsp+ raspberry
  • Made it with Plantation 5 Star, and a 1:1 mix of Polish raspberry liqueur and simple syrup, raspberry garnish. — ★★★★★
  • Very good with Zaya 12 rounded out with some Pisco. Heavy pour on the lemon juice and rasp syrup.
  • Rum- sweet. (sub. cointreau, creme de cassis/framboise)

  • A wholly pleasant experience. Nothing challenging, perhaps, but absolutely nothing not to like.

Doctor Funk (Don the Beachcomber)

1 1⁄2 oz Light rum (either Puerto Rican or Cuban)
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
1 t Pastis, Pernod
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3 oz Soda water (to top)
Instructions

Shake everything except soda, pour unstrained into a pilsner glass. Add soda and stir to combine.

Notes

This is pretty underpowered compared to the Trader Vic Dr. Funk variant - if your pilsner glass is 16 oz, it's probably very weak.

Bartender's Guide by Trader Vic (1947) contains the following recipe:

Dr. Funk
2.5 ounces dark Jamaica or Martinique Rum
1 lime
.5 oz lemon juice
.25 oz grenadine
.25 oz Pernod or Herbsaint
1/4 tsp sugar

Shake, add lime shells, top with soda, garnish with fruit or geranium leaf.

Good catch y'all!

I rewrote the drink to Berry's standard, and cited him. I also created the Trader Vic version from the Bartender's Guide.

Thanks,

Zachary

Made with a mix of Zacapa and Smith & Cross, served it up, no mint. Like a fruity and delicious daiquiri-esque thing. Will make again.

  • 2oz Gin 0.75oz lime cordial* 0.75oz fresh lime juice Shake with ice, strain into martini glass. Garnish with lime wedge. *either Rose's or preferably homemade. — ★★★
  • Very good made with 2.5 oz Tanqueray, 3/4 oz lime, 1/2 oz rich (2:1) simple -- Difford/Morgenthaler ratio.
  • My version is 2oz gin, 3/4 oz lime juice, 3/4 oz sumple syrup
