Saturn Rose in Croatia • Rakia fat-washed with stone fruit roasted in coconut oil • Stone fruit gomme infused with green cardamom and rosewater (Utilizing leftover fruit from fat washing process) • Passionfruit juice • Lemon juice • Walnut falernum • Orgeat Served inside of a 20oz Pepsi bottle with label removed over crushed ice after being pitched. Garnished with palm frond, lemon/rose petal skewered "Saturn". My great-great-great grandma Rose migrated to the United States from Croatia and her great-grandson is my great grandpa Bob whom was an engineer on the Saturn 5 mission in Huntsville, AL. My career in the hospitality industry brought me to South FL where I met a friend from Croatia and he introduced me to Rakia. He gifted me a bottle from his family estate and it was inside of a 2 liter Pepsi bottle (label and all)! Come to find out, that is a very popular bottling method for homemade fruit brandies made in Eastern Europe. I was in bar brawls back in 2019 and was introduced to the classic tiki cocktail "Saturn" and just today found out that it was named after the Saturn booster engines that my great grandfather helped to redesign after finding major defaults after the first Apollo mission. My great grandma Anita, my grandpa Bob's wife, used to make a traditional Eastern European sweet treat called Kolache which has a walnut and brown sugar filling which inspired the walnut falernum.
