THE STORY OF Saturn Cocktail
Californian bartender J. „Popo“ Galsini introduced Saturn Cocktail to the world in 1967 when he won the International Bartender’s Association World Championship with it. It’s supposed Beachbum Berry has rediscovered the cocktail again. The Saturn Cocktail is a brilliant example of how good gin can be in tiki cocktails.
When you think of tiki cocktails, you usually associate rum with them. Surprisingly, there are also a few tikis with gin. One of them is the Saturn Cocktail. That’s special. But the Saturn Cocktail contains, in addition to the gin, some ingredients that we know very well from the tiki universe: Passion Fruit, Falernum and Orgeat. And if you look at the recipe, Saturn is maybe somewhere between a Mai Tai and a Gin Sour.

I tried this cocktail last weekend with my husband, and we were absolutely thrilled. It’s a super fruity cocktail, perfect for summer evenings. I highly recommend it.
