Corrections
- 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
https://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.
