The Doctor Funk in his book tastes nothing like the Doctor Funk I had at TV's Emeryville. Their drink was heavily sweet and had maraschino liqueur if I remember correctly. The one in the book just has dark rum, lemon and lime, and tiny amounts of grenadine, simple syrup, and Herbsaint. The soda added a nice touch, too... and it wound up being a pretty refreshing summer-time booze fest. The Beachcomber was along the same lines, as far as dryness goes. I liked this one quite a bit, but I may go for a more pungent rum next time, for personal preference. The light Puerto Rican (I use the Cruzan to sub, like the Bum suggests) gets lost on my tastebuds. Overall, The Beachcomber seemed to me to be kind of a not too sweet rum margarita. Pretty dang good.
