What is the premise of the episode and who are the hosts?
Hey, everyone. This is Juliana McIntosh.
And I'm Brad Sutton.
And this is The Art of Drinking. We'll join Jules.
And your favorite uncle. This is the best home bartending podcast.
Where you learn how to make two drinks.
A classic.
And a twist.
Plus a little backstory on the cocktail.
So you have an interesting story to tell when you serve your guests.
Your home-crafted masterpiece. I have a drink today that is not your typical tiki rum bomb.
And can I call you out, Brad? Sure. Listener, he's never had this drink before. As a tiki guy, what did you call it? A tiki...
I'm a tiki-giki, yeah. A geeky for tiki.
You know, this one gets left behind, and we get into it in the history section, but this is a perfect example. You have Brad, who is a tiki-giki, who hasn't had this cocktail. And honestly, Brad, I think one of the reasons why I wanted to do this was because a couple weeks ago, I went to this cocktail bar. It's a speakeasy here in San Diego, and it's all space-themed. They had a Saturn on the menu. And I remember there's another cocktail bar up in San Francisco, Smuggler's Cove, that also had a Saturn on the menu. And I was thinking to myself, gosh, you know what Brad and I haven't done lately? We haven't done a tiki cocktail. And so this one came into mind.
How did Jules discover the Saturn cocktail and why had Brad never tried it?
And then lo and behold, Brad, you hadn't heard of it. Have you heard of this cocktail or you just hadn't had this cocktail?
Yeah, I mean, I've heard about it. I've definitely looked across menus and- And seen it. Noticed it. Yeah. Yeah. Right. But didn't dial in on it, which is weird because I I don't know. Like since we were talking about this in the history section and obviously through the we were making it in the next part, maybe I'm kind of stuck on like the tiki from like the 30s and 40s. You know, I kind of that's my tiki. Right. That's the zone that my head wraps around. Not the later Tiki, like the atomic era Tiki. Right. And so just all of a sudden dawned on me, like literally right now, it's like, you know, there are definitely two, there are two worlds of Tiki. There's the pre-atomic and atomic, post-atomic Tiki. And this is one of those things, I think.
Yeah. I may have just made that up and I may just be completely, totally, people are like, there is no such thing as that, Brad. Or, Jesus, you're brilliant. We never thought about it that way. Yeah.
And we have to leave it in there so our listeners will decide because I'm not sure one way or the other because I have never, I love tiki, don't get me wrong, but I always, you are my tiki guy. You are, I mean, how many tiki mugs do you have?
I can't count how many I've got over there, but you know, here's one of my favorites.
It's,
Han Solo, I'm a huge fan. Don't give away the next one.
Yeah, yeah.
So this is Han Solo. You know, he's my fave smuggler. I love you.
I know.
This little angry guy here. Oh, look at that fun guy. He's got a little angry face. He's got skulls on his feet. Yeah. We've got this scary little skull here with a devil face on top. It's like some type of totem. And then, lo and behold, up from the depths, Of the Pacific is the SS Minnow. It's the one from Gilligan's Island. Look at that. Oh, my God. That's so cool.
You know, you got to tip your hat off to Tiki because it's like not only do they come with the vibes that you can escape into, but you get to take home some of the coolest glassware.
I mean, come on. If you buy it from the bar, otherwise they make you give you like, they'll take a deposit and then you just, yeah. They don't love it when you walk out with a glass bottle.
No, no. Have I snuck one before? Maybe in my young age.
No, no. Of course you haven't.
No, no, no, no, no. I have no recollection. I played the fifth. But yeah, no. So we get into a tiki cocktail today, folks. But what you'll find, which is very interesting is, There is no rum in the classic Saturn. This actually has a really cool history, too, because once you realize the backstory, you understand the name and the era, which is really fun. And then we actually have a really fun tip section. Instead of giving you...
