     Happy Star Wars day. What would a Star Wars party be without Star Wars cocktails? Amazing considering how long nerds have embraced today during times when there were no new Star Wars in production. This year is that much special because just a few months ago Episode 7 hit the big screen and with Disney behind the wheel we’ve got a truck load of Star wars series, movies, and merchandise on it’s way. To help you celebrate today properly we’ve found some awesome star wars cocktails around the web perfect for making at home. Enjoy!

The Yoda

  • 1 Part Vodka
  • 1 Part Midori
  • 2 Parts Sour Apple Schnaaps
  • 1 Part Blue Curacao
  • 1 Part Sour mix

Pour all in a shaker and shake till frosty.  Strain into a shot glass and enjoy.  Because there are a lot of ingredients for this particular shot, it might be a good idea to simply measure one “part” as an oz and make 6 separate shots instead of just one.
