Saturn

The Saturn is the rare tiki classic built on gin rather than rum: London dry meets passion fruit syrup, orgeat, falernum, and lemon for a tart, perfumed, almond-edged tropical sour. Created by Filipino-American bartender José "Popo" Galsini, who won the 1967 IBA World Championship with it under its original name, "X-15." Flash-blended over crushed ice and finished with its signature lemon-peel "ring," it was rescued from obscurity by Jeff "Beachbum" Berry in Beachbum Berry Remixed.
