History
This gin-based tiki sour is a vibrant variation on the Saturn, a classic gin cocktail from the 1960s. The blue curaçao gives it an otherworldly, icy hue, perfect for channeling the frigid atmosphere of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth, where Luke had his memorable encounter with a Wampa.
