Dr. Funk was created in the 1950s by Don The Beachcomber for his namesake restaurant in Palm Springs. It was named after Dr. Bernard Funk who was the physician of Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa. I’m not sure where this Paired Down recipe comes from I got it from The Cocktail Virgin Blog written by Boston Bartender Fredric Yarm. It should be noted also, that many recipes for this drink call for Black pot still or Blackstrap rum but this one calls for Agricole which I think is a great twist.

- 1 1/2 oz Rhum Agricole Blanc
