The Foodie Extravaganza Crew are celebrating May the Fourth with Star Wars inspired recipes.......
Camilla of Culinary Cam is hosting this fun event. I have to confess that while I have seen the first 3 Star Wars Movies, it was many, many years ago. I enjoyed them well enough and I bought a ton of Star Wars toys when the kids were young but I never got "into it" like many others.
So when Cam came up with this theme I had no idea what I was going to make. I didn't remember any food in the movies but I did remember a cantina scene so I decided a cocktail would be the answer. Normally when I need a cocktail I turn to Frank but he doesn't know any more about Star Wars than I.
Luckily, Tony, is a bartender extraordinaire AND a huge Star Wars fan so I reached out to him. Here is our text conversation.......
So now that you know the back story of my recipe, let's take a look at what the other's brought to the party........
- Baked Lightsaber Churros by The Spiffy Cookie
- Blue Milk Cocktail by A Day in the Life on the Farm
- Galaxy’s Edge Inspired Blue Milk by Tara’s Multicultural Table
- Han’s “Dice”-d Potatoes by Sneha’s Recipe
- Homemade Cheese Cracker TIE Fighters by Food Lust People Love
- Millennium Falcon Peanut Butter Cups by Culinary Adventures with Camilla
Yield: 1 cocktail

DeleteHi, I'm looking for a blue mocktail for my wedding. We're planning to have a drink table with mixers to can be enjoyed on their own, as well as with a shot of liquor added from the bar. I'm pretty sure I can make this with blue curaçao and amaretto syrups, bit we're batching them...do you think coconut water would be a good alternative to shaking it with ice?
ReplyDeleteI would experiment with it beforehand and see how it works. Congratulations on your wedding. I have also used blue curacao with lemonade and it makes a beautiful blue cocktail or mocktail as well.
