    I've got two delicious Star Wars Day cocktails for you that can be scaled up or down to serve all your Jedi pals. Cheers to the Rebellion. May the force be with you.

    Star Wars Day Cocktails with text

    I am married to a hard core Star Wars fan. He's watched every movie, every animated series, and every episode of Star Wars related content on Disney+. He knows that universe backward and forward, so I, by extension, have a fair bit of Star Wars knowledge.

    So for Star Wars Day this year, May the 4th, I knew we needed to have some specialty cocktails to go along with our movie marathon. Of course, the canon has grown significantly over the years. Back in the day when there were only six films, you could start early in the morning and work your way through all the films by bedtime. Naturally, you'd forget all about your drinking game by the end of the second film. These days, it might be more of a week long mission, but I still think we should pour a libation in honor of those fallen Rebel heroes.

    Creating cocktails from Star Wars Lore

    There's no end of Star Wars related food puns and whole books of recipes (which I need to start recollecting) to help you create a feast worthy of a great victory celebration. If you wanted to create a signature cocktail for all your favorite characters or places, you probably could.

    I let my husband pick the theme for these drinks, and he wanted to work with a time-honored debate in the fandom. Greedo shot first!

    Honestly, I don't really know and don't much care, but there are places on the internet where this chat is endless. So Greedo and Han Solo shots it is. The great thing about these is that you can serve them as single shots, individual cocktails, or even pitchers to get you through the whole party.

    One Bailey's, Kahlua and Vanilla Vodka shot and one Midori, Rum, and Apple Juice shot

    The Greedo shot

    The Greedo shot of course had to be green, so it's a mix of Midori, white rum, and apple juice. If you're serving this as a cocktail, a bit of soda water to make it sparkly could also be fun. That vibrant color definitely gives the drink a sinister alien feel.

    The Han Solo shot

    Han Solo, while dashing, certainly isn't colorful in terms of his appearance with his neutral-tones. I admit, I had hoped to make a layered shot, but my patience and bartending skills were insufficient. If you're going to drink this as a cocktail, you'd mix it together anyway. This mix of Kahlua, Bailey's, and vanilla vodka does make a cool sort of celestial swirl, though. Also, if you're going to drink this as a cocktail, I'd make it half booze half whole milk and serve it over lots of ice.

    Are Jedis witches?

    I suppose it depends on your definition of witchcraft. I'd say Jedi knights definitely engage in magical practices. They are skilled in meditation and suggestion, and they know how to channel the unseen energy of the Universe to help them manifest their intentions. They communicate with the dead, and their weapons are powered by crystals. That sounds pretty witchy to me. What do you think? Are Jedi's just space wizards?

    Tips for celebrating Star Wars Day

    If you're celebrating Star Wars Day, you're gonna need a Disney+ subscription. They've made it easy for you by organising all the movies and series in story chronological order which, in my opinion, is the best way to watch them. The story gets pretty convoluted in places. Let's be honest, these films aren't known for their exquisite writing.

    You may choose to focus on one particular trilogy or a certain time period. Or maybe you binge an entire animated series in one day. Do what makes you feel good.

    Games are also fun. Whether you create a drinking game, a workout game, make people take turns re-enacting lightsaber battles, or a combination of all of the above, it's a good idea to write the rules down nice and big where everyone can see them.

    And be sure you have plenty of snacks. I've got you covered there.

    May the force be with you friends. I hope you enjoy these Star Wars Day cocktails as much as we will. Send me your Star Wars Day photos on Instagram. I want to celebrate with you.
