Heard about the Saturn cocktail a few times and i actually have all the ingredients so i'm giving that a try. I love gin, even more than rum, but found it far to sweet for my taste, even though i cut back on the Monin passionfruit because i know how strong that is. Once i added more gin it made it much better.
Now you might laugh but i was actually able to buy some Fee's Falernum and some John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum locally and tried it with both. They are completely different animals but i much prefer the JDT Velvet than the Fee's, at least in this drink. The Fee's just adds even more sweetness which is not needed. But even using the JDT and cutting back on the Monin, i still felt it was too sweet and added more gin. THEN, it is a good drink.

It's been a long time but i have had that before Jon, but for me, cucumber belongs in salad or my sandwiches, not in my drink.

Nice! I noticed the mini clothes-pin to hold the garnish. I haven't seen that before, interesting...

If you can find some basic Plantation Dark you can infuse your own with a ripe pineapple and it's ultra easy. When done, it's dangerously easy to guzzle. Basically let a bottle soak in a chopped up pineapple for 48 hrs and you're done. http://inuakena.com/misc/diy-pineapple-rum/
