Dr. Funk is a poor subject for replacement. Its Pernod is DEFINITELY Pernod - I'd never use that one as a test. Also, Dr. Funk is ... how should I say ... for the tart tooth? It's definitely a palate challenge for the uninitiated. That said, once you get a hankering, ain't nothing that can heal you like the good Dr.

Try your switch on a test pilot, QB cooler, or cobra's fang.

And of course, to each his/her own. The best arbiter for your own taste is yourself!

Thanks for the suggested drinks for the ol' switcheroo.. Since I am new to the world of tiki.. stumbled upon the (sub)culture after researching mai tai recipies after having a memorable one under the banyan tree at the Moana hotel in Honolulu. So many drinks to sample, I really should try them by the book as much as possible before I go making substitutions.
I see the online source I have for marachino liqueur also sells Pernod, might as well get the real thing. (which is actually a subtitute for the real thing when referencing absinthe)

Lest I confuse myself, think I'll make a drink...
