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

[@hofii2]

Earth is also my favorite planet. It's where I keep all my stuff.

[@AndersErickson]

Great point

[@uraniumrock8381]

Earth's a dump

[@johnabram3981]

Maybe this is a Tick-y Friday?!

[@surturz]

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. Source: hba-net.gr/iba-winning-cocktails-1955-1969/ 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.

[@AndersErickson]

Very helpful! Thanks for posting. Cheers

[@cyriltran1267]

It looks like you describe Rhum Agricole ??

[@chrisdimal9869]

@@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.

underrated comment

[@kronyn555]

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

[@boshkodjordjevich7424]

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.

[@senpai69thegreat81]

Managed to fit three cocktails in a one cocktail video, that’s awesome

[@TreeCutterDoug]

Fun fact: there is a Haynes repair manual for the Saturn V rocket, available on Amazon. Really cool book for the coffee table.

[@LWAC71]

Man. I love this guy. He’s hilarious. My kinda peeps. Chi-town STAND UP!!!

[@stevenvanderville2589]

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!

[@seanrobertson2236]

Thank you for the bonus cocktail! Love that your curiosity led to you giving it a go.

[@AndersErickson]

Love being surprised! Could be really good with a little balancing - might have to revisit

[@swgrantimus]

@@AndersErickson Please revisit! Would love to see another experimentation video with how you're reasoning through the ratios and balancing.

[@schelzel]

Cheers to a Terrific Tiki Friday!

[@AndersErickson]

Happy weekend!

[@criticaljohnson]

I typically make a shaken Saturn instead of a frozen & blended one, but both are phenomenal. Glad you showcased one of my favorites!

[@mikelevin2565]

LOVE that you made the IBA winner as well. Great bonus there. More of that sort of thing.

[@WhoKnowsNose]

I've always made Saturns with 3/4oz lemon juice. Balances out the sweetness!

[@eddie_richards]

The Saturn was fantastic.. but where did you get the glass?

[@ProtestantsRUs]

That bit with saturn was hilarious and cinematic, well done. What royalty free piece of music was that?

[@jeckart3d]

I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this; but your use of KZbin 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.

[@norbertortizpr]

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!

[@ManInArea]

It is such joy when you find a tiki recipe and realize you have all the ingredients! Thanks again for a great video and a great drink

[@rebeccabrown1951]

This was a fun one. Bonus cocktail at the end that was “not crap.” 😀 And bloopers.

[@josh-hake]

Saturn was my favorite planet a kid, too! (It's now my second favorite as well). To the bar!

[@EdenRiot2]

I love hearing Az laughing her ass off at the (charming) pedantry.

[@carsonhc305]

Thanks for this one Anders. It's in my rotation now. Very refreshing on a summer day.

[@JeseeWalker]

One of my favorite drinks of all time.

[@andrewtevans1976]

Just tried the Saturn and that is absolutely delicious. Thank you 🪐

[@movingforwardLDTH]

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!

[@SiderealRails]

Literally made one of these last night! One of the first cocktails I ever had, and one of my favorites.

[@AndersErickson]

I like your style

[@brentdnowicki]

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.

[@letortua1044]

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?

[@frann.8879]

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!”🍹❤️

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks have a great weekend!

[@ericepperson8409]

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.

[@MrReidtheRed]

Two cocktails for the price of one!!!! Love it

[@mikeshardreviews4154]

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.

[@chriswindberg5010]

I loved catching Oz cracking up in the background on this one. Love you guys and the channel. Sending good vibes from Kenosha!

[@serhangfatih]

If you like Singapore slings you're going to love this. I might have found my new favorite drink.

[@petermcguire4769]

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.

[@AndersErickson]

Haha I actually love it

[@pimpernel666]

Dude! Hats off to, I’m assuming, Az for all the killer edits and production in this week’s video!

[@AndersErickson]

Yup that was all Az! I'll pass along the compliment. Cheers

[@pimpernel666]

@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!

[@AlgyFonts]

I'm starting back ip my tiki series for the summer, will definitely have a spot on the menu for the Saturn

[@johannpipes221B]

Hello from Greece!

[@tapeseltule]

great video and an underrated tiki classic.

[@pattykcake]

I need more bloopers at the end of videos! So funny!

[@Linda-bq7eq]

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

[@MeAgain1976]

Love that I can just hear the laughing in the background 😂

[@christinecamley]

Yummm! This beauty would be terrific around a beautiful pool in Maui!! Fabulous! I hope you both have a spectacular weekend!! Cheers Anders! 🙂

[@EricDavis-qf4io]

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!

[@siobhanryan3307]

Thank you Anders 😀 Always looking for a nice gin cocktail

[@jimrogers1500]

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.

[@alfredanheier4779]

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.

[@jacquieturley842]

If you keep making Tiki drinks, I'm gonna need you to get Tiki glasses please and thank you

[@drquack2248]

Never disappointed by an anders video, by far my content creator and bartender. Cheers man

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

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!

[@DavidHallidayMusic]

I love it when we get a bonus cocktail! 🎉

[@mr-vet]

Just about anything with passion fruit is delicious!

[@karissa07]

drinking my cocktail from my Erickson Coupe! Love it.

[@donalbreheny]

The reaction to that second drink, 😂😂. May need a video all it's own?

[@fomocorox1989]

I tend to make my Saturns with passion fruit puree instead of syrup..I could see blending making the syrup more balanced.

[@vinspad3]

Love that you made the 'other' cocktail. But ya, ill take Saturn any day.

[@cait__l]

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

[@TrulyZer0]

This looks incredible! Now I i have to go buy ingredients. I think you might be my local liquor store's favorite person Anders

[@Petrosman]

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.

[@FilipDworniczak]

I need to make one too! Will adding passoa in place of passionfruit juice make a big difference?

[@Trasselkalle]

Space music! What we never knew was missing!!!

[@compunurse]

I love your videos. You have prompted me to purchase a few bar tools. And I’m starting to experiment with various cocktails other than bourbon neat. However, I feel compelled to ask the following question. Prior to the filming of this video, how many Saturns did you have.?

[@ProudTexanIsMe]

Happy Friday guys!! I still, want a mocktailvideo please

[@ETLGypsy]

Love to see growth following talent, thank you for the educational and riveting tutorials and history context. Blessed be to you both! 🙏

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks so much. Cheers

[@EliseShanbacker]

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

[@robs4574]

I love this cocktail so much!

[@conormurphy4328]

Definitely one of my favourite drinks

[@danielwenderski1428]

I just made a saturn last weekend!

[@SergeantSphynx]

The Saturn is a dangerous drink. Quite delicious and incredibly easy to drink.

[@ManInArea]

It was a glorious day in Southern California and I think this drink would be a fine addition to it.

[@davidbeckett1565]

Thanks for the great video, and additional thanks for the bonus cocktail

[@polishprince7219]

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.

[@camel1117]

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.

[@eetadakimasu]

This was great, so glad you made both!

[@andresbarajas5851]

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.

[@Flupperz]

Looks delicious! What kind of glass did you end up using to serve it in? I am very bad with glassware names

[@kennethmadsen6474]

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!

[@LadyLuck-iv2zd]

Not sure where you're located, but in Canada, I was able to order some Viski glasses from Amazon.

[@evanhayes5891]

Rum, dry vermouth, drambuie, and banana liqueur sounds amazing dude! Deserved the win.

[@jays1752]

"this is not to scale"...funny stuff Great drink! Along with the Royal Hawaiian and Fogcutter, proof that gin and Tiki are not strange bedfellows.

[@andrewwinson5866]

I’m curious if I could swap Chinola in for the passionfruit syrup without throwing off the flavor badly?

[@gardgarland5293]

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.

[@TreeCutterDoug]

I'm absofuckinglutely making one of these on Sunday.

[@acebojanglesable]

Have you tried adding 1/4 tsp xantham gum to your blended drinks?

[@DavidHallidayMusic]

“And this… is solid metal.” Ha ha ha ha!

[@JasonPtt]

Favorite tiki drink hands down

[@graefx]

The 1967 cocktail was a fun swerve at the end lol

[@SarahJean-bo3de]

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!

[@kessenichp]

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.

[@mspurefunk5]

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

[@AndersErickson]

Love it. Perfect timing! Hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy the weekend!

[@danielkregenow7892]

Never hard a Saturn but have never had one frozen. It’s a great idea though going into the summer!

[@AndersErickson]

Highly recommend. Cheers

[@jg.387]

Having a hard time finding velvet falernum in Canada but I have falernum syrup (prosyro brand). Can I substitute one for the other?

[@johnathondickey1946]

Can you make a video about Kirkland branded liquors and which ones are worth it

[@shooteveryday1841]

I make False Idol’s play on the Saturn called the Hyperion. Instead of gin, use 50/50 Cachaça and Pisco .

[@JohnnyDoom]

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.'

[@CyrusBluebird]

Since this drink is a twofer, namely with which citrus juice & garnish ring to use, we could use that to our advantage and differentiate the lemon & lime ones as "X-15" & "Saturn"

[@mathieulefo6658]

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.

[@jennifermiller4]

Anders: off topic but how do I order an Old Fashioned when I go to a Wisconsin supper club?

[@Rich606]

Does the Saturn taste better than Uranus?

[@sasaikudasai8256]
