Doctor Funk
With its generous dose of rum and absinthe, too many of these faintly liquorice-like cocktails and you'll need a doctor

The "Dr. Funk" was invented prior to the 1950's. The drink is referenced in a book by George Chappell published in 1931.

A version also appears in Trader Vic's 1946 "Book of Food & Drink," where Vic marks it as one of his "original" (or "signature") drinks. Looks like Beach and Vic were probably both basing their recipes on the good doctor's old potion!
