Saturn

These are my house specs for the inimitable classic. The original 1967 recipe is way too sweet. Smugglers Cove improved upon it with the extra lemon juice and coupe serving. But I find that one to be imperfect as well. I think the Saturn is best served with standard 2:1:1 ratio, so that’s how I make it at home. Recommended Brands: •Sipsmith London Dry Gin

I have a passion for tiki classics and modern exotic cocktails, especially when I can infuse them with spirits and quality ingredients from the East Coast of Canada.

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well. Fine strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a cherry speared through the middle of a lemon ring.
Editor's Note
A refined 2:1:1 ratio elevates this classic, balancing tart lemon against the tropical depth of passionfruit and orgeat. The saline solution provides a final, necessary lift.

This is a fantastic take on the Saturn! Your adjustment to the ratio really highlights the complexity of the ingredients. Do you have a preferred brand for the falernum or orgeat that you find works best with this specific gin?
