1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup (Trader Tiki)
1/4 oz Orgeat (Trader Tiki)
1/4 oz Falernum (Velvet)
Blend with 8 oz of ice and pour into a pilsner glass. Instead, I shook with ice and strained into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice and garnished with an orange slice.
On Thursday a week and a half ago, I was in the mood for something a little playful when searching for that night's cocktail. Therefore, I reached for Beach Bum Berry Remixed and found the gin-based Tiki drink, the Saturn. The drink was created by J. "Popo" Galsini, a bartender in Polynesian restaurants during the 1950s and 60s in California. The Saturn was one of his more famous recipes as it claimed first place in the IBA World Cocktail Championship in 1967.

This drink is absolutely sublime with Old Raj gin, the hint of saffron really blends well with the falernum (Trader Tiki in my case) and the extra proof gives it just a bit more bite.
Your post also inspired me to try one with rum, I replaced the gin with 3/4 Smith & Cross and 3/4 Clemente VSOP. This was also very good but not quite up to the high standards of the Old Raj version.
