History:
There are earlier Doctor recipes combining Swedish punch and rum (see Doctor No. 1), but this recipe, which first appeared in Frank Meier's 1936 Artistry of Mixing Drinks, has proved the most enduring, helped by its being republished in Victor Bergeron's 1947 Bartender's Guide... by Trader Vic
Review:
Lighter and arguably more satisfying than the various citrus-heavy Doctor Cocktail recipes (see Doctor No. 1 to No. 4). Obviously, with two such dominant ingredients, your choice of rum and Swedish punch will greatly influence the result.
