The Force is strong with us all, but which path will you choose? That of Vader? Skywalker? The great Obi-Wan Kenobi? Which ever path you go, this cocktail will arm you with the liquid courage to attain your destiny across the galaxy while being the perfect sipper for Bar Wars! Try one, try them all and be ready for a fun evening that will be quite literally out of this world. And if you don't believe that, all we can say is we "find your lack of faith disturbing"...

Choose Your Side
This cosmic concoction begins with 1.5 oz of bold cherry vodka, layered with .5 oz of vibrant orange liqueur and a splash of tart lime juice for that signature galactic tang. Topped with sparkling soda water, the drink is then crowned with your choice of floater: Blue Curaçao for those drawn to the calm clarity of the Jedi, or a fiery Cherry/Raspberry splash for those tempted by the passion of the Sith.
