Today’s drink is the Saturn! This is a space age tiki drink that balances an assortment of tropical flavors. With two syrups and one liqueur, there’s plenty of sugar to hold up to the dilution of blending with crushed ice. Not everyone does this, but the result is an easy-to-drink frozen cocktail that’s perfect on a hot day! The Saturn is favorite of mine. Hope you enjoy it too! Cheers!

New recipe: I just made a créme de cacao and tried to evoke a Jaffa Cake in a coupe. I'm close; it's not perfect (someone improve upon this): 45ml bourbon, 30 créme de cacao, 15 triple sec, 3ds orange bitters, stirred and served up. It's my best attempt to date, but honestly, that recipe would be better on a big rock in a lowball as an Old Fashioned. Two variables I wanna tweak: shake with egg white, and vary the spirit. I wonder if a brandy or an Irish whiskey would play better
Earth is also my favorite planet. It's where I keep all my stuff.
Great point
Earth's a dump
Maybe this is a Tick-y Friday?!
Spooon!
Earth has all the best bars...
So the cocktail which actually won in 1967 is called the Mallorca Cocktail, created by Enrique Bastante. The rum to use is difficult to pinpoint today. It's essentially the original Pampero rum (now just an okay-ish to mediocre column still molasses rum range, with the company owned by Diageo). A unique thing of some Latin American rums back then is that they were created with cane syrup (or cane honey), which in turn is just reduced cane juice. This will make the rum much more distinctive and flavorful, with just a hint of a grassy bite. I think the best chance you have is to see if Diplomatico has any rums known to be made with a pot still component, as they use cane syrup for the pot still component. Otherwise, you could add an aged (6+ year) column still rum to Probitas so you could maybe approximate it. Proportions which were provided essentially translate to (sorry for only ml measurements, I'm not American): 10ml of Cinzano Dry (ah, the dark ages), Drambuie (much better than the current version) and Bols Crème de Banane (it was what it was), then 30ml rum (Estelar Pampero). You did correctly predict the glass to be used: a cocktail glass.

Lastly, remember that the IBA is very biased towards Europe, hence that could be a reason that the Saturn didn't win. But maybe not as well.
Very helpful! Thanks for posting. Cheers
It looks like you describe Rhum Agricole ??
@@cyriltran1267 Agricole involves cane juice. Cane syrup is when you reduce the cane juice overtime. The flavor changes alongside the brix level (sugar content). This stands to reason that they will become different distillates. The key thing is that because molasses and cane juice became the industry standard, cane syrup stuff has mostly disappeared. Cane syrup rums also have a ridiculous flavor spectrum: Barbancourt 8 and Clairins are both made with cane syrup, but the first is easy going, while the second one is overwhelmingly funky.
The look on his face was amazing. He wanted it to taste bad to validate the Saturn so bad that the amazement of how good it was he could not hide
This may be your best video ever. The bloopers were hilarious. Love that you did the 2nd drink. And love that you mixed a Manhattan to showcase your sponsor. Well done. Thank you.
Fun fact: there is a Haynes repair manual for the Saturn V rocket, available on Amazon. Really cool book for the coffee table.
Managed to fit three cocktails in a one cocktail video, that’s awesome
If you keep making Tiki drinks, I'm gonna need you to get Tiki glasses please and thank you
Cheers to a Terrific Tiki Friday!
Happy weekend!
Man. I love this guy. He’s hilarious. My kinda peeps. Chi-town STAND UP!!!
This one was especially fun to watch. I generally dislike gin but made a Saturn recently in order to use up a bottle. Was blown away by its deliciousness. It's a 10/10! Smuggler's Cove serves it up in a coupe which really compliments the bright flavors. Cheers!
I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this; but your use of UA-cam chapters is delightful! I only noticed it 2 videos ago. But the subtle flick from my iPhone in my hand times with the chime of your logo, and the reveal of the Saturn are such a small but delightful detail. Well done.
I typically make a shaken Saturn instead of a frozen & blended one, but both are phenomenal. Glad you showcased one of my favorites!
Saturn is a classic. Love it. You're right, passion fruit syrup makes any cocktail great. It's tiki-bartender's ketchup.
I've always made Saturns with 3/4oz lemon juice. Balances out the sweetness!
LOVE that you made the IBA winner as well. Great bonus there. More of that sort of thing.
Saturn was my favorite planet a kid, too! (It's now my second favorite as well). To the bar!
Never disappointed by an anders video, by far my content creator and bartender. Cheers man
I love hearing Az laughing her ass off at the (charming) pedantry.
This drink is the whole reason why I made my own falernum. And orgeat. And Passion fruit syrup. Lately though I buy the Pitaya foods passion fruit pulp that come in cubes. I just add 4-5 cubes, rather than make it into syrup, to help cut down the sweetness. It's definitely a favorite. I also found the Port Light is a fantastic cocktail - Bourbon, Lemon Juice, Grenadine, and Passion Fruit.
Hello from Greece!
Thank you for the bonus cocktail! Love that your curiosity led to you giving it a go.
Love being surprised! Could be really good with a little balancing - might have to revisit
@@AndersErickson Please revisit! Would love to see another experimentation video with how you're reasoning through the ratios and balancing.
Glad to see blooper reels again and a little longer video format! Been following since the beginning and the Anders from 2020, shines with a little more air time! Well done both!
If you like Singapore slings you're going to love this. I might have found my new favorite drink.
I am retracting my statement that an immersion blender doesn't work. Just had to add ice a little then blend and add more. I made this with Plantation Dark Rum because I only had a little gin left. Wonderful.
Props to Oz for some excellent B-roll footage of this extraterrestrial cocktail! The winning cocktail of the '67 IBA competition sounds bizarre - thanks for making it too, Anders!
I’m always so inspired by stories about the bartenders quite a time ago. How pleasing, attractive and communicating they were, that their nicknames are still remembered with warmth and affection nowadays?
Just tried the Saturn and that is absolutely delicious. Thank you 🪐
Hugely entertaining as always! Even the sponsor video had a cocktail, and your blooper reels are priceless. Cheers. Not going to make the Saturn though, I tend to get terrible brain freeze from slushies etc.
It was a glorious day in Southern California and I think this drink would be a fine addition to it.
Omg, I have a couple of my long-gone grandfather’s glasses that are shaped like that Viski Manhattan glass! Never knew that’s what they were, but it makes sense. Thanks!
Just about anything with passion fruit is delicious!
great video and an underrated tiki classic.
One of my favorite restaurants that is now sadly closed did a non-frozen version of the Saturn and I think about it all the time
Hi Anders…..what a perfect summer drink!👌👌👌 …I love the creativity you put forth for the “history of the drink”…felt like I was in science class again!🤣…and your garnish skills are on point!🤗🤗🤗🤗 Bonus cocktail was so nice!😁😁😁 Have a great weekend and “CHEERS!”🍹❤️
Thanks have a great weekend!
Dude! Hats off to, I’m assuming, Az for all the killer edits and production in this week’s video!
Yup that was all Az! I'll pass along the compliment. Cheers
@AndersErickson So next week are we getting a deep dive into the first place cocktail then? Love that we got the bonus content on the back end!
This was great, so glad you made both!
another great history lesson! When I make the garnish I cut a thick slice of lime and cut out the flesh and skewer with the cherry.
Just one of the risks that you have to take, love that. I really love you guys channel and now have a couple of your glasses. I like that you made the other cocktail. I am going to get some lemons so I can make one but I would love to see you guys do a video on the other cocktail in details. Just saying that you guys had a lot of fun making this weeks video and I look forward to each weeks videos.
This is a perfect example of the style of cocktail that comes together as its own unique flavor rather than a collection of distinct flavors that work together. Super refreshing and lightly funky from the falernum with a little bit of botanical gentleness. I love banana liqueur, but there’s no way this cocktail deserved to lose that competition.
The Saturn is in the top three drinks I make with Gin, along with the Bramble and Tom Collins. Never had it blended, but it's great over pebble or crushed ice. And that "piece of crap" mixing glass is from Mofado, and I know this because I bought it after seeing it on your channel lol.
Haha I actually love it
I love this cocktail so much!
Of my two favorite tiki bars in Phoenix, one serves it slushy style and the other does not. It’s one of my GF’s two go-tos so I usually get a couple sips whenever we go out.
Hubs made this for me! Used floral maple bitters for the falernum and grenadine for the passion fruit syrup...delicious, wish I could post a pic in the comments
Love that you made the 'other' cocktail. But ya, ill take Saturn any day.
The 1967 cocktail was a fun swerve at the end lol
I've made this once, but it was served up. For the garnish I cut a lemon wheel before squeezing and ran a pairing knife to remove the lemon flesh. So it was a complete ring, with a cherry in the middle. It looked pretty cool, and was delicious.
I like Earth too.
If anyone is having separation issues and would like to prevent it, add ¼ tsp (1.2 ml) of Xantham Gum per cocktail.
I learned this a couple of years ago from The Educated Barfly, and I absolutely love it! He served it up, and that works really well. I will try making it this way for change.
Also, it's so unfortunate Viski does not ship outside US. I really like their glassware!
Not sure where you're located, but in Canada, I was able to order some Viski glasses from Amazon.
I'm starting back ip my tiki series for the summer, will definitely have a spot on the menu for the Saturn
Literally made one of these last night! One of the first cocktails I ever had, and one of my favorites.
I like your style
One of my favorite drinks of all time.
I loved catching Oz cracking up in the background on this one. Love you guys and the channel. Sending good vibes from Kenosha!
Space music! What we never knew was missing!!!
I love it when we get a bonus cocktail! 🎉
I came here from the Enzoni video, and was like, "Why haven't I seen this one?!" I have no idea is the answer. I usually watch them all. I blame 'The Algorithm.'
Two cocktails for the price of one!!!! Love it
Definitely one of my favourite drinks
This was great! Can we get a video of on contest winning cocktails Anders hasn't tried before? Would be cool to see the reactions like this one.
Darlings, You knew I needed you…A Saturn! Brilliant! I so needed something OOTW (out of this world) and you have provided it. ~All gratitude. Love u guys
“And this… is solid metal.” Ha ha ha ha!
drinking my cocktail from my Erickson Coupe! Love it.
Thanks for the great video, and additional thanks for the bonus cocktail
I was not even awared this drink was usually done frozen, i've always had it served up (i've only had it at 1 bar, figures), but it's one of my favorite tiki.
Thank you Anders 😀 Always looking for a nice gin cocktail
Hey Anders, could you do a video about Italian amaro? The different types and flavor profiles, etc? Its kind of a daunting category and some bottles are pretty expensive, so i never really buy anything except campari. It would be nice to get it broken down like your gin and rum videos! Cheers from boston!
I make False Idol’s play on the Saturn called the Hyperion. Instead of gin, use 50/50 Cachaça and Pisco .
I tend to make my Saturns with passion fruit puree instead of syrup..I could see blending making the syrup more balanced.
Favorite tiki drink hands down
Fun Saturn fact (stop me if you've heard this one), it gets hailstorms, but the hailstones are diamonds. That's right, Saturn has diamond rain.
Here's a bit from a website that touches on how it works:
With carbon being abundant in this gas giant, lightning storms turn methane into soot which as it falls hardens into chunks of graphite and then rare diamonds! These diamond “hailstones” eventually melt into a liquid sea in the planet’s hot cores. Measuring roughly a centimeter in size, these diamonds are so glorious even the most glamorous celebrities would have wanted a piece of this!
And how many diamonds are being created on Saturn? Roughly 1,000 tonnes of diamonds a year!
Maybe a mallet and bag for crushed ice for merch? Logo on the bag, not sure how easy it would be to put on the mallet. ❤❤
Speaking of banana liquor and with summer coming up, you should do the Dirty Banana
Like it more in a chilled coupe.
This was a fun one. Bonus cocktail at the end that was “not crap.” 😀 And bloopers.
Love to see growth following talent, thank you for the educational and riveting tutorials and history context. Blessed be to you both! 🙏
Thanks so much. Cheers
Happy Friday guys!! I still, want a mocktailvideo please
I just made a saturn last weekend!
Yummm! This beauty would be terrific around a beautiful pool in Maui!! Fabulous! I hope you both have a spectacular weekend!! Cheers Anders! 🙂
Please could you do a ‘fixing bad cocktails’ episode!
I use +/- 1.75x the ice in grams as the cocktail in mL w/ 1/4 tsp Xantham Gum per serving. More if there's a heavy pour of a base spirit, less if there's granulated sugar instead of syrup.
TO THE BAR!➡️🥃
I need more bloopers at the end of videos! So funny!
To the bar! 🥰
Rum, dry vermouth, drambuie, and banana liqueur sounds amazing dude! Deserved the win.
The Saturn is a dangerous drink. Quite delicious and incredibly easy to drink.
This looks incredible! Now I i have to go buy ingredients. I think you might be my local liquor store's favorite person Anders
To make you jealous, as a kid I got to see the X15 fly and land at Edwards AFB.
Love that I can just hear the laughing in the background 😂
Hey Andre’s
Great video. So many coincidences: 1-I just went to the space museum on Tuesday. Plus have seen the Saturn 5 in person. During this time I randomly found out that other members of my family watch you too!
Love the funny history of cocktails + Gin is my now favorite. Used to be rum but ahhh we mature.
Will have to start stocking more ingredients so That I can make this. Saturn sounds right - Hmmm note sure about the banana - thought for sure yall would hate it. 😅
Thanks for the links too.
Off to buy some H&R glasses at Viski! 🎉
Have a great weekend
Love it. Perfect timing! Hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy the weekend!
"Typically I don't care for garnishes that don't add anything to the drink" but let's be real - this is tiki. You gotta play the part at least a LITTLE 😂
The reaction to that second drink, 😂😂. May need a video all it's own?
I'm absofuckinglutely making one of these on Sunday.
wow, never seen it frozen, only know it up in a coupe or with crushed ice....also love the new garnish with the cherry in the middle, way better than just dropping long curly lemon strands on the surface.
Can you talk about your work bench? I've seen you lower it, but I'd like to hear more about how you built it!
I was wondering if you'll make a Serendipity someday?
The Serendipity seems to be made of: mint leaves, calvados, apple juice, champagne, and sugar or syrup (optional?).
Collin Field first served this drink on 31 December 1994 at Bar Hemingway Bar in the Paris Ritz Hotel for Jean-Louis Constanza, the co-founder of Wandercraft, who after drinking it exclaimed "Serendipity!" giving the drink its name.
I've never tasted it but would like to, and I'm curious to hear what the two of you would think about it.
Not usually a gin person but I might have to try this
You know how if you learn a new vocabulary word, you find that you start to hear it everywhere? 🍌 Well…it just so turns out that Steve the Bartender also used banana liqueur in his video yesterday! 😂
If we’re talking outer space we need a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster video 👀👀
If Saturn is your favorite planet and you read recreationally, do read Charlie Stross' "Accelerando". It's a weird (really weird) trip through the technological singularly fixed up from a bunch of short stories, one of which involves cities precariously floating in Saturn's upper atmosphere.
Anders. I am trying to convert my tiki drinks to sugar free as my wife is now a diabetic. We like tiki drinks during the Summer so I have been converting the standard recipes to sugar free. (Alcohol in moderation can actually depress blood sugar. She will usually have one glass of a dry champagne when she does drink but if you have more than one it is not good). So I have found sugar free orgeat that works well but replacing fruit juices and demarara syrup is more challenging. I would like to see an episode where you made the regular version of a drink then a sugar free version and see how close they are. It would be an interesting challenge.
Oh I love the Saturn. I found out that a higher proof gin works well in this, and since I have a navy strength one, I tried it a few months ago and it was really good.
