This is the oldest referance I could find for the drink it was called

Fu Manchu Nightmare.
Sax Rohmer c1942
0.5 oz tripple sec
0.5 oz Absinthe
1.5 oz Dark rum
0.5 oz Roses lime juice
1 dash sugar syrup
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled mug.

Doctor Funk (Trader Vic's Bartenders guide)
1/2 Lime
1/2 oz lemon juice
1 dash grenadine syrup
2 oz Dark Jamaica rum
2 oz club soda
1 dash Pernod or Herbsaint
Put everything in a mixing glass with ice and stir, strain into a 14 oz chimney glass filled with ice. Float the Pernod and decorate with mint sprig and lime shell.

Doctor Funk's Son (Trader Vic's Bartenders guide)
1/2 Lime
1/2 oz lemon juice
1 dash grenadine syrup
1 dash sugar syrup
1/2 oz 151 proof rum
2 oz Dark Jamaica rum
2 oz club soda
Put everything in a mixing glass with ice and stir, pour into a 12 oz glass. Decorate with mint sprig and lime shell and fruit stick.

The last one is closest to the drink you want. Go easy on the absinthe, it is supposed to be a flavor that hides in the background, and subtly enhances the drink. Add too much and it will dominate the drink.
