03History
Dr. Funk was a real 19th-c. Samoan doctor whose tonic Donn Beach turned into a tiki drink — the absinthe makes it a real prescription.
It sits between a Collins and a tiki punch: tall, bright, and stranger than either.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
