Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it's his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like "Frankenstein". I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that...

The joke is Frankenstein is the doctor from the novel by the same name (the mad scientist). He ordered the beverage, but he confused the monster who is also waiting for his drink. The monster from the novel Frankenstein has no name, but people call him Frankenstein after the book's name, so it's a play on that confusion.
