I bought your grenadine it's fucking AMAZING, but it says limited run on the order form... will the place that made it be carrying it long term or was this a one time made batch?
Greetings from Romania! I started watching your videos and coctails about a year ago. They are awesome :O I got my first coctail set for my birthday, and i am real👏ly excited to try all your recipe. Keep up the good work 😁🥳
I had most of the ingredients on hand - including the amazing grenadine! (No lemons so I just used lime). And of course I don’t have the fancy blender. But so tasty!!
Hi Anders! Your videos are awesome! Since long time! The presentations are precise, stylish, informative and it's well cut/assembled. Always! Thank you a lot! Your videos are a real present/gift/gem to the community! And btw: you german pronunciation of 'funk' comes with a heavy american accent, which is fine, guessing you didn't have lots of practice on this. I love the dialects and accents of my mothertounge. Der 'Funk' translates to wireless or radio, while der 'Funken' translates to spark, but this is another story... Cheers and zum Wohl!
Yes! I love this cocktail! I made it with 2oz of the Hamilton Pot Still Black like in Smuggler's cove! Dr.Funk is the perfect name because as you drink it "funky" (in a good way) is the first word that just keeps coming to your mind. I also bought a $20 milk frother for flash blending my drinks and it works pretty well!
Just made it today; used Smith & Cross, some Dr. Bird, and some Wray & Nephew. Outstanding. Oh, and I’m not saying I made a trip out to Portland just to get the grenadine, but it was a definite must stop at Portland Syrups when out there.
Good sir, i have never enjoyed absinthe in a cocktail other than as a spritz of the glass before this. Awesome drink! I'm in southern Illinois and have very limited syrup options available, so I have made your grenadine from the beginning of my cocktail interests. Glad your able to make it commercially available!! Get that bag, dude 🍻
I'll have to check it out tonight. On the plus side, I already have all the ingredients. I love this show. Thanks for including Oz, even if she wasn't on camera. I always enjoy another person's opinion on the drink.
That’s a tasty drink. I didn’t have Fijian cane rum so mixed 1/4 ounce paranubes and a 1/2 ounce prohibitas, alongside 3/4 ounce of the ultimate Mai Jamaican mix. Very nice
I made the Mexican Firing Squad with your grenadine, it was very good; can't wait to try the Dr. Funk. Your grenadine vs Rose's, no comparison, yours is so much better. Never going back to the cheap stuff!
Hi Anders, a beachy , island vibe with Doctor Funk!👌👌👌 I will follow doctor’s orders and have a delicious tiki drink..👏👏👏…milkshake blender on hand regularly in my kitchen, but it’s much smaller!🤣🤣 Enjoy the weekend and as always “CHEERS!”❤️❤️🥃🥃
I have my own riff on this inspire by Tower of Power that I call The Funky Doctor. It's a bit stronger in that I use three really funky rums: Probitas, Smith & Cross, and Hamilton Jamaican Black. I also swap out the absinthe for all spice dram. Just remember, hipness is what it is, but sometimes hipness is what it ain't.
Awesome video and great drink. You did miss a great opportunity to use Doctor Bird’s Jamaican rum. Doctor is in the name, and it’s got a great “Funk” to it. Definitely can only be used in small doses though 😂
We bought Anders' grenadine from Portland Spirits last week and it truly is amazing! Will be buying more soon. And will try other syrups from Portland.
Wish your grenadine was available in Sweden, everything we have in stores here is literally raspberry syrup labeled as grenadine (it really does not contain pomegranate at all). But I’ve made my own using your recipe, so ’tis all good!
I love your videos and your presentation. I have made many of you cocktail. Only thing is I live in the UK and can not always get many spirits hete. Life sucks some times
Another great episode! I do feel conflicted about the grenadine because I all ready make it homemade (per your instruction) and I can't imagine it getting any better.😅
Buying some sparkling water today! I’ve got everything else already (except rum from Fiji). Think I’ll do a split of Smith and Cross rum and Plantation 5 Year.
I finally got a bottle of Absinthe in my bar (I got Lucid, I like it pretty well so far!) and I'm very excited to mix up some cocktails like this one. I have Smith & Cross and I hope that might work for my funk, if anyone else has other suggestions lmk!
Yes, you could have an after show where you and Oz just enjoy the cocktails and shoot the shit. This would be especially entertaining with episodes like the recent one where you sampled 10 different grenadine cocktails.
Sorry, but: 'Der Schiss' is incorrect translation. The meaning of 'Schiss' is literally shit or fear - such a big fear you shit yourself. But the meaning of 'Funk' is wireless or radio or broadcast. So no funky funks. Just to clear ehhhmm things out.
Hi Anders, 2 things.. 1) what would be a good substitute for Fiji rum? And second, i just received my Grenadine from Portland syrups.. and yes, that is some AMAZING stuff! I also purchased the Orgeat tiki syrup which is extremely good as well.
Mmmmmmmmmm, that is sooooooo good . Just made my version with what I have on hand at this time. My son offered me his Captain Morgan’s Private Stock, and it’s not bad 🍹
I have noticed a bottle of Centerba for quite some time in your background. Any chance you have some history and cocktails for that? I have only had it when my Italian neighbour digs it out as a shot during the holidays.
Love my immersion blender too, but the results differ. The milkshake blender just whips the drink, adding air. The immersion blender grinds everything up to make it more of a smoothie. Not that smoothie's are a bad thing
Heh you were pretty close on the German pronounciation of "Funk". It's a "short" "U"-sound like in "put" and "butcher". Definitely gonna try this one. Cheers 🥂
What are a few rums you would substitute for that Fijian rum? I’ve never tasted rum from there, but I do have rums from lots of other places. Ha ha. I love rum.
Will your grenadine go bad in the fridge after a month or two of being open? Any stabilizers in it for longevity? If I make my own with Pom sugar and rose water it doesn’t last that long and generally isn’t worth making.
This is an excellent cocktail, and one of my favs, but what about the Jungle Bird? It does not pre-date tiki, but it created in Kuala Lumpur, and I think that qualifies at the South Pacific.
I think I'd call Kuala Lumpur as Asian rather than south Pacific, though I see where you're coming from. One could argue that Malaysia is in the Indian ocean rather than the Pacific. Also, it's north of the equator.
Hi @andersErickson, native German and French speaker here... "Funk" is indeed pronounced "Foonk", and the translation has nothing to do with the music genre, but would translate into "wireless radio". As for "Cafard", the literal translation from French is "cockroach", but to "have the cafard" (an expression popularized by author Charles Baudelaire), means to be in a melancholic mood.
Hello Anders Long time subscriber. I happen to be in Chicago with my family on vacation. We’re headed to the Violet hour for drinks tonight. Any other cocktail bars you would recommend in your town? Thank you. Javier
We will add this to our tiki menu. We have added your grenadine and tried most of the drinks from the grenadine announcement video. We also added your rocks glasses, bar mat, and t shirt for our bar. The local craft cocktail we want you to visit here in Florida has been featured twice as the training site for Bar Rescue. We are going to one of the rescue bars tonight as a matter of fact.
Anyone else mixing up drinks with a milkshake blender?
Pretty much do it all the time at home. It’s a shoulder saver 😂
Know what ya mean!!!!@@chadsimpson7978
Derek from Make and Drink does it all the time
@@AndersErickson Yep but only for cocktails containing juices that froth up like pineapple juice. For others I just shake.

Prefab Sprout reference? Nice.
Your best work yet. Everything about this episode was excellent. Keep kicking ass!
Never would have guessed that the name Dr. Funk was actually based on a doctor named Funk.
Surprised me when I first heard it too
We ALWAYS want to see your dog!

I can attest to the awesomeness of the Portland Syrup x Anders grenadine! I picked up a bottle as soon as I saw it - outstanding!!!
This turned out really nice. Great, interesting drink. I just had Plantation Barbados rum in my cabinet and it worked well.
Congrats on the flash blender, wow that has been a long time coming
Brilliant to see I lost my mind on absinthe. This is absolutely the one drink to rule them all.
That was almost this vid's title! Clearly we're on the same page

That was an excellent Wisconsin farewell, and yes, I will always want to see Freya. 🥰😍
I have visited RLS's grave on top of Mt Vaea in Apia, Samoa. A 40min walk to get there and the view is breathtaking.
Yes!! I’m so excited about this one, those are some awesome ingredients!
Can't wait to try this over the holiday. Can you also share a recipe for the non rum, original version? Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for this video. Sounds like a perfect drink to try on the family at the beach this August.
Just made it. I could have used a better rum and only had herbsaint but we work with what we’ve got. Overall it is fantastic, really really good
Love the enthusiasm for the milkshake machine.
I've made it with White Stache, Plantation 3 stars and Breezway blend. I'll have to try it with Pot Still Black and/or Doctor Bird
Doctor Birds works!!
TO THE BAR!➡️🥃
it’s go (to the bar) time!

Thanks for all the education and entertainment, you two! Anders, loving the Howler Bros. shirt... sponsorship relationship?!?!
Do we want to see your dog? You know we do!!! Another great cocktail! ❤❤
2:50 yeah, that's more like it
Tiki may need a shopping trip to make, but it always hits the spot. 😂

I can’t wait to try this but I was thinking of subbing absinthe for herbsaint as I don’t have absinthe yet
You hang up first. ☎️ No, YOU hang up first! 📞. Cheers, happy weekend!
Love the drink you two and the video.
This looks divine! You had me at Absinthe 😊
Got the grenadine. Delicious.
something else to use absinthe with outside of the corpse reviver #2! on the list to try!
did not have the Holmes Cay Fiji rum, so used Plantation 5 as its replacement. Damn tasty drink! thanks!
This one is fantastic, my wife's favorite.
Used doctor bird and planteray isle of Fiji. This was killer. Didn't have any pineapple fronds on hand so I used a dehydrated lemon wheel. A+ from me!
Yes, you could have an after show where you and Oz just enjoy the cocktails and shoot the shit. This would be especially entertaining with episodes like the recent one where you sampled 10 different grenadine cocktails.
I would watch the heck out of that
How’d you get turned on to the Fijian rum? You mentioned you had just found that, was that in the course of researching for this cocktail?
Also curious!
Thank you for showing us your doggo
Just ordered your grenadine along with a couple other syzzurps...excited to get into a DRfUNK
It is very valuable that you give us useful information.
Great cocktail Anders! I really appreciate your love of Tiki! Also the proper pronunciation would be Fijian (Fa-gee-in) rum or Fijian people.
Ooh with the Holmes Cay Fiji. Very nice! I got to try some of that at the rum tasting at the Lincoln Park Binny's last week. Good stuff!
I am going to make this right now. Holy smokes that sounds good.
Cheers
As a fellow Funk, I am excited to try this.
I look forward to making and reviewing this drink
Der Funk, der Schiss...pretty interesting, and we all get depressed sometimes. We can get symptom relief from this Dr. Funk Rx.
Yes. In a funk? Well, Dr. Funk is the cure!
Sorry, but: 'Der Schiss' is incorrect translation. The meaning of 'Schiss' is literally shit or fear - such a big fear you shit yourself. But the meaning of 'Funk' is wireless or radio or broadcast. So no funky funks. Just to clear ehhhmm things out.
I suffer from cafard anytime I find my hand devoid of a tiki drink. This recipe seems legit.
Lol. Wanna see my dog? Sounds like the name of a new cocktail!😂
Anders, that's the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down!
Got into your amazing club soda in Cozumel past March. Truly exceptional.
I need to check my rum supply, but if I have some good stuff I need to make this drink tomorrow night!
Would it still work if you only used dark Caribbean rum, or that and a light rum?
Hi Anders, 2 things.. 1) what would be a good substitute for Fiji rum? And second, i just received my Grenadine from Portland syrups.. and yes, that is some AMAZING stuff! I also purchased the Orgeat tiki syrup which is extremely good as well.
I bought a bottle of your grenadine. I wanted to compare it to my homemade version. They were similar, but I think I like yours a little better.
Thanks for giving it a shot! Difficult to beat homemade. Cheers
You should try the Brrmuda Hundred Gin cocktail - its by far my favorite sorta Tiki gin drink
Will try assuming I have grenadine... otherwise will try once the new bottle I just got from your link arrives!
Mmmmmmmmmm, that is sooooooo good . Just made my version with what I have on hand at this time. My son offered me his Captain Morgan’s Private Stock, and it’s not bad 🍹
Cheers for this take on the Dr Funk! Would Plantation Isle of Fiji rum work as a replacement for the Fijian rum?
Yeah that should be good in there. Of course only one way to find out! Cheers
@@AndersErickson Cheers Anders 👍
Isle of Fiji may give positive results but it's very different than the Holmes Cay. Lacks the funky fruity notes.
@@austinrumsociety Cheers for your input. I'll give it a go 👍
I have noticed a bottle of Centerba for quite some time in your background. Any chance you have some history and cocktails for that? I have only had it when my Italian neighbour digs it out as a shot during the holidays.
Love the Howler Brothers shirt!
Do you think an immersion blender would work?

I can’t wait to try it. The Doctor is in!
That HB shirt is fantastic…well done, good sir!
Im from Germany: you pronounced it well :-)
Yeah, it's Funk with the U as in Tunesia, not in Punk.
Funk or Funke means "spark" in German, so Dr Funk's ancestors were probably blacksmiths or fireworkers ...
What are a few rums you would substitute for that Fijian rum? I’ve never tasted rum from there, but I do have rums from lots of other places. Ha ha. I love rum.
Cafard (J'ai le cafard) is French and still used today when you're feeling down in the dumps.
Will your grenadine go bad in the fridge after a month or two of being open? Any stabilizers in it for longevity?
If I make my own with Pom sugar and rose water it doesn’t last that long and generally isn’t worth making.
I recently restored two Hamilton beach milkshake machines. So I’m all in on this one.
What are some substitutes for the Holmes Cay? I have a bunch of rums and am hoping to use one that I have!
This is an excellent cocktail, and one of my favs, but what about the Jungle Bird? It does not pre-date tiki, but it created in Kuala Lumpur, and I think that qualifies at the South Pacific.

Will last at least 6 months in the fridge once opened!
