Return To Saturn is the Saturn cocktail-inspired first entry in our Lightning In A Bottle project. While rum has long held the spotlight in tiki-style cocktails, the Saturn is where gin and its spiced, herbal nuances achieve a tropical stardom all its own.

We aged Return To Saturn in Tom Cat gin barrels before dosing it with perfectly ripe passionfruit - a sweet and vibrantly tart base on which to build additional layers of house-made orgeat, the blended ginger-lime-clove tones of falernum and a final spark of fresh lemon juice.

Uniformly opaque pale corn yellow with a short white head that fizzles out to fluid surface instantly. I didn't use ice but it was poured into a stemless Bottle Logic glass quite cold.

The botanical gin is present but in good measure, weaving its underlying accents well throughout while melding with passion fruit banana vibes that are uniquely spiked by evergreen and anise. In time, I also seem to detect some clove and nutmeg, but the spritzy fruits and ginny brightness are balwarks against creating any sort of Christmas or quad associations.

Its medium body's vibrating effervescence comes to a semi-dry finish.

This is one of the most unique beers I've ever had. It's truly like an expertly crafted cocktail, and is working hard to defy explanation.
