Saturn

1 1⁄4 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Passion fruit syrup
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1⁄4 oz Orgeat
Instructions

Blend with a cup of ice until smooth. Pour unstrained into a Pilsner glass or other tall glass.

Notes

I've found that a softer gin works well when shaking rather than blending. The orgeat can result in an unpleasantly musky nose in this drink if shaken; to avoid, omit the syrup or blend with lots of ice as in the original instructions.

  • Prepared shaken and served up. Definitely sweet; I could see going light on passion fruit or amping up the lemon/gin amounts when doing it this way.
  • Light but delicious
  • Made per Smuggler's Cove recipe, with 3/4 oz lemon juice and shaken/strained cocktail rather than blended. Very tasty
  • Easy on the Orgeat
  • Tasty and easy going. I wondered if it would be too sweet and it might have been by a little. Might be worth trying to shave the passionfruit back and boost the lemon a touch. — ★★★★
