Saturn Cocktail Recipe
The Saturn cocktail is a tropical favorite with a twist. Instead of rum, this tiki classic uses gin, giving it a refreshing and unique flavor. It is sweet, tangy, and nutty all at once, and the best part? You can easily make it at home.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Blender (optional)
- Strainer (optional)
- Tiki mug or tall glass (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz Gin
- ½ oz Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
- ½ oz Passion Fruit Syrup
- ¼ oz Orgeat Syrup
- ¼ oz Falernum
Instructions
- Start by filling your cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the gin, lemon juice, passion fruit syrup, orgeat, and falernum.
- Shake it really well until the shaker feels cold to the touch. This usually takes about 10 to 15 seconds.
- Fill your tiki mug or a tall glass with crushed ice.
- Strain the cocktail into your glass, pouring it right over the crushed ice.
- If you are in the mood for something slushy, skip the shaker and blend everything with crushed ice until smooth.
Notes
- If you do not have passion fruit syrup, mix passion fruit puree with simple syrup for a quick alternative.
- Falernum can be tricky to find, but a spiced ginger-lime syrup works as a great substitute.
- Play around with the ratios to match your taste. Want it a little stronger? Add more gin. Prefer it sweeter? Use an extra splash of passion fruit syrup.
- The key to getting the balance right is sweetness and acidity. Start with the recipe as is, then adjust to your liking.
