A short time ago, in a bar, not too far away… VII STAR WARS COCKTAILS were created. It is a period of overwhelming joy, geek discussion, and craft cocktails. Most true Star Wars fans saw the new episode at the first midnight showing, pre-ordering their tickets ahead of time through a new robot, called “The Fandago,” hoping to flee into the spaceship AMC before others. The truly hardcore have already seen the new Star Wars not once, but multiple times. Expense be damned, how often is there a new episode in the theater? It’s a time for celebration, and as such, brave mixologists have banded together to present grown up fans with the liquid force, and have shared their secrets with the galaxy. Check it: Seven Star Wars cocktails for the new episode. Rejoice.
