Yoda Gin Fizz

When I asked Ben Paré—bar manager at Miami’s iconic Fontainebleau resort and formerly of New York’s Sanctuary T—to contribute a Star Wars-themed drink to this collection, he was more than happy to oblige with this riff on a Ramos Gin Fizz. It’s green like our favorite Jedi master.

•2 ounces gin of choice

•1 dash orange blossom water

•1 large egg white

•1 bar spoon matcha powder

•½ ounce coconut cream

•½ ounce fresh lemon juice

•½ ounce fresh lime juice

•¾ ounce simple syrup

•Seltzer (optional)

•Grated nutmeg (garnish)

Combine all ingredients in a shaker, dry shake until the egg white is fully emulsified, add ice, and shake again. Then, double strain through a fine mesh strainer into a tall Collins glass. (Top with an optional splash of seltzer for some extra froth.) Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Mos Eisley by Way of Amsterdam

When most people think of drinking in Amsterdam, it usually involves a brand that rhymes with Schmeineken. But what a lot of outsiders don’t realize about the Dutch capital is that it has cultivated, in just a few short years, one of the most celebrated craft cocktail scenes in all of Europe—the world even—with bars like Rosalia’s Menagerie, HPS (Hiding in Plain Sight), and Tales & Spirits. The folks running Tales & Spirits have quite the geeky streak running through them and serve a mix series of pop culture-inspired cocktails, one of which is a Star Wars collection. Each drink in the collection features ingredients inspired by key locations in the original trilogy.
