This colourful serve harks back to the early 1950s and was created by Don Beach at his Palm Springs restaurant, Don the Beachcomber.  It was apparently named after Dr Bernard Funk, Robert Louis Stevenson's physician, who was known to prescribe an absinthe-laced limeade for the treatment of various ailments.
