Maybe it was taught to him by Albert Martin as the "Franken Jack" and he renamed it to the Frankenstein. I understand the Franken Jack was published in the Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. "When I went back to Oakland (after his tour of famous bars in L.A., New Orleans and Cuba), I started to mix several different drinks. I used the La Florida cocktail, the La Florida daiquiri, and a planter's punch, along with some drinks Albert Martin had shown me. And we went to work and made up a lot of new ones. Drinks that would sell in America. Tongo punches (maybe Tonga?) and frankensteins. Hot buttered rums in the wintertime. And a whole raft of little drinks."
