ABOUT
This cocktail was created by Nathan Talbert (@food_ninja808). He was influenced in part by the tiki classic Saturn (gin + passionfruit). The addition of Aperol and pineapple turns it into something bright, juicy, and definitely on the sweeter side. A little more gin post-clarification helps keep it balanced, so adjust to your palate. Bonus points if you add edible glitter for that full galaxy vibe (I didn’t have any at the time of shooting this!). Cheers y’all!
