The Inspiration

Why this drink

This cocktail is inspired by the iconic scene of Luke Skywalker gazing at the twin suns setting over the deserts of Tatooine. The tequila and agave base represents the arid planet, while the vibrant yellow body of the drink and the brilliant red hibiscus float visually recreate that pivotal moment of contemplation and dawning hope that launches the entire space opera saga.
