Doctor Funk (Trader Vic)
0
Jamaican rum shaken with lemon juice, grenadine, a little sugar and a touch of Pernod, lengthened with club soda. Tart, lightly sweet and tinged with aniseed. Trader Vic Bergeron created it in 1947.
Doctor Funk is a character from the Trader Vic repertoire who became known in the South Pacific as a bartender rather than a physician. The drink tied to the character was strong, built on absinthe with lemonade or limeade, and it is mentioned on page 171 of Frederic O'Brien's 1920 book "White Shadows in the South Seas."
