DOCTOR FUNK - this drink was tiki before tiki was tiki

Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com Today's drink is Doctor Funk! Believe it or not, this is the only classic tiki cocktail that originated in the South Pacific (which is where tiki bars pretended to be). Doctor Bernhard Funk created this drink with absinthe, lime juice, seltzer, and occasionally grenadine. Rum was an addition that came decades later. This recipe is full-flavored with bold rum and assertive absinthe while maintaining a refreshing brightness. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
