- The Saturn first showed up in Taboo Table, not Intoxica
- The original Saturn recipe was actually 2 ¾ oz before dilution
Finding Popo: The Search for a Lost Tiki Master Bartender by David Wondrich
www.thedailybeast.com/the-sea...
The history of the Saturn is one of the most interesting looks at the life and evolution of a cocktail. Unlike the Zombie or Mai Tai, the Saturn was never a popular drink until Beachbum Berry shared the recipe in Intoxica. The drink was a rare tiki era cocktail to not feature rum, but according to Popo the Saturn was meant to be used as a template for gin, rum, and even VODKA!
J Popo Galsini led an interesting life and was a true bartender. Bouncing around from bar to bar and competing in competitions year after year and often winning or at least placing. Hopefully one day we can get the exact specs on the Mosquito and at least the ingredients for Queen's Choice.

This one might be your crowning achievement to date. The production is stellar, of course. But the heart of this video is the investigative journalism plus your talent for storytelling. You're challenging commonly accepted beliefs and not just adding to the tiki canon but advancing it. Just outstanding. Well done.

If your production techniques get much better, you're going to need a mini series on Netflix. The Saturn was probably the first "tiki" drink I ever had with gin, and made me appreciate gin more. I don't know if you've ever made the Cobra's Fang on the channel, but maybe you could do a video or a series on the Cobra's Fang, the Sidewinder's Fang (from Smuggler's Cove), and the Golden Fang (from the Death & Co. book, "Welcome Home), which is a gin variation.

Great episode. I love this drink. Back in 1968 I visited Douglas Huntington Beach and saw one of the Saturn S-IVB stages being preflight tested. Perhaps it was the one that later sent Apollo 11 to the moon. Who knows? In any event, the Kona Kai was a Douglas hangout and the name of this drink based on that makes too much sense. Cheers.

These drink history videos are fantastic and I can't wait to see the next one that gets this same treatment. P.S. Saturn's are my favorite tiki drink. I love Rum, but something about this one just elevates even a basic Gin to a flavorful libation.

Your storytelling, cinematography, and editing is amazing. Are you using passion fruit syrup for passion fruit nectar?
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Ай бұрын
I'm using passion fruit syrup. I think it works just fine and don't think it comes across too sweet. There's at least 1 recipe from 1967 that calls for sweet & sour mix instead of lemon. And another that calls for 1 1/2 passion fruit syurp. The recipe in the video is the same as Beachbum, the glassware, and pretty much all modern takes and it's balanced to me.
@lokmtb8503

​@@makeanddrinkI just made your exact recipe and used Real passion fruit and felt it was a little too sweet. I might try dropping that down to a 1/4oz next time.
