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?
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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'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.
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 🍻
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 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 @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.
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!
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.
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.
That's right, because Funk (or Funke / Funken) means spark and the first radios were based on sparks (pop spark transmitters), hence the word Funk for radio. Dr Funk's name is much older though. So my theory is that his ancestors were blacksmiths or fireworkers. Funk, Funck, Funke and Funcke are common family names in Germany.
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!
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.
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 🥂
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 😂
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!”❤️❤️🥃🥃
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.😅
SAME. I was so excited, tossed it in a cart and left it there when I saw the shipping. I get that it’s out of anyone’s control and especially sucks for small businesses but yeeeeks. Ya know? 😂
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 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
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.
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.
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 🍹
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.

I would watch the heck out of that
We ALWAYS want to see your dog!
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
The smile that spread across my face when you pulled out the mixer
You could probably run a boat with that mixer! You crack me up! So entertaining….every time. Love you guys, ❤
You hang up first. ☎️ No, YOU hang up first! 📞. Cheers, happy weekend!

Congrats on the flash blender, wow that has been a long time coming
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!!
Dr's orders says I need to make this cocktail this weekend. 🍹 😋
Looking forward to making it, now I've watched this 😊 🤭
Hope you love it. Enjoy the weekend

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
Your best work yet. Everything about this episode was excellent. Keep kicking ass!
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.
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.
Tiki may need a shopping trip to make, but it always hits the spot. 😂
Lol. Wanna see my dog? Sounds like the name of a new cocktail!😂
Anders, that's the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down!

This turned out really nice. Great, interesting drink. I just had Plantation Barbados rum in my cabinet and it worked well.
TO THE BAR!➡️🥃
it’s go (to the bar) time!
Love the enthusiasm for the milkshake machine.
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 recently restored two Hamilton beach milkshake machines. So I’m all in on this one.
That was an excellent Wisconsin farewell, and yes, I will always want to see Freya. 🥰😍
I have to make this now, Dr. Funk is my cats name
Another great show, Anders!! The energy! The excitement! The fantastic editing! Keep 'em coming!!
I suffer from cafard anytime I find my hand devoid of a tiki drink. This recipe seems legit.
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!!!
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!!

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.
That's right. Stay to the end and get the doggo!
As a fellow Funk, I am excited to try this.
"Avoir le cafard" from French (litterally, to have a roach) is to be sad, depressed, and have melancholy
You are the best sir. Thanks for the new Tikki Drink to try and for showing us your lovely dog.
Thank you for this video. Sounds like a perfect drink to try on the family at the beach this August.
Just ordered a bottle of the grenadine, I look forward to trying it in this cocktail.
Yes!! I’m so excited about this one, those are some awesome ingredients!
Looks gorgeous! Thanks!
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!
2:50 yeah, that's more like it
Do we want to see your dog? You know we do!!! Another great cocktail! ❤❤
Thanks for all the education and entertainment, you two! Anders, loving the Howler Bros. shirt... sponsorship relationship?!?!
Cafard in french means litteraly « cockroach » and in used when we are homesick, miss your family, etc.
Thank you for showing us your doggo

It is very valuable that you give us useful information.
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
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.
Cafard (J'ai le cafard) is French and still used today when you're feeling down in the dumps.
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.

With the 2024 Summer Olympics coming up in Paris, France, could you make some drinks for the olympics, maybe featuring some French bottles?
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!
Funk in german ist pronounced like you told and means something like Radio, but it can mean military chat via walkie talkie.
That's right, because Funk (or Funke / Funken) means spark and the first radios were based on sparks (pop spark transmitters), hence the word Funk for radio.
Dr Funk's name is much older though. So my theory is that his ancestors were blacksmiths or fireworkers. Funk, Funck, Funke and Funcke are common family names in Germany.
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 ...
This looks divine! You had me at Absinthe 😊
Great call using a Fijian rum in tribute to the South Pacific.
Feejan rum
I am going to make this right now. Holy smokes that sounds good.
Cheers
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!
We need the Funk, we gotta have that Funk owww
I found the Fiji Rum randomly last weekend at a local store. I was like "I've seen this bottle before. I must have it!!!"
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!
Got into your amazing club soda in Cozumel past March. Truly exceptional.

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.😅
Just ordered your grenadine along with a couple other syzzurps...excited to get into a DRfUNK
More Absinthe cocktails!!
I can’t wait to try it. The Doctor is in!
I would love the Grenadine but…..$30 shipping to Canada! What??? Postage sucks! Im a gonna make your recipe. ❤
SAME. I was so excited, tossed it in a cart and left it there when I saw the shipping. I get that it’s out of anyone’s control and especially sucks for small businesses but yeeeeks. Ya know? 😂
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!!
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.
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!
Will try assuming I have grenadine... otherwise will try once the new bottle I just got from your link arrives!
I need to check my rum supply, but if I have some good stuff I need to make this drink tomorrow night!
I look forward to making and reviewing this drink
Nice to know that we can make Dr. Funk without Falernum (#2 version)
I can’t wait to try this but I was thinking of subbing absinthe for herbsaint as I don’t have absinthe yet
This man is too adorable, I stg. 🍻
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
