Baby Yoda Cocktail (+ Mocktail option)

We are obsessed with how cute Baby Yoda is and so of course had to include a drink based on our favourite alien. This one is for adults and kids, making it the perfect choice for the whole family!

Ingredients/equipment:

1 oz Tequila (use Sparkling water if making virgin)
3 oz Lime Margarita Mix (Use mountain dew/alternative green drink if making virgin)
2 Lime wedges
Martini glasses
2 large blueberries
Brown paper bag or packing paper
Butcher’s twine or yarn

Instructions for drink:
1. Add ice to a shaker or tall glass to let chill
2. Add tequila and lime margarita mix. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds and set aside to chill.
NB: If you are making a Baby Yoda mocktail chill your liquids over ice but don’t shake if using a carbonated beverage, or as we call them Yoda sodas.

Instructions for Baby Yoda decoration:
1. Take the brown paper/packing paper and form it around the stem of the glass.
2. Take the twine or yarn and tie it in a knot to form a waist/belt (You can alternatively tape it)
3. At this stage pour your pre-made drink into the glass (make sure to use a strainer when pouring!)
4. It’s time for garnishes. Take your lime wedges and make a cut in the middle of the wedge so that when they are placed on the rim of the glass they look like his ears.
5. Drop 2 blueberries inside the drink to be his eyes. You can also put the blueberries on a clear toothpick to help them hold their shape.
6. Time to drink. Enjoy and may the force be with you!

Blue Milk Cocktail

We know this isn’t a cocktail per se but trust us this blue milkshake is incredible and definitely brings all the Jedi’s to the yard! It is inspired from Episode IV: A New Hope when Luke Skywalker drank on the world called Tatooine. Why not try it out! It is a super simple recipe that is seriously out of this world.

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla ice cream (the whiter the better!)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp blue Jell-O powder
Blue food colouring (optional)

Directions:
1. Mix the milk and Jell-O powder together.
2. Pour the milk/Jell-O mixture and ice cream in a blender.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Add a few drops of blue food colouring to make it pop! Mix until even.
5. Pour into a glass and enjoy

We reckon these drinks would make George Lucas proud and will definitely make your May the Fourths even more special! To keep up with our Stroodling efforts check out or out our Instagram and Twitter.
