Utinni!

Named after the notorious Jawa exclamation, Utinni! draws its inspiration from the diminutive droid dealers’ (and the Mos Eisley Cantina’s) home planet, Tatooine. The drink showcases spirits made from agave, which thrive in similarly dry climates. It also features a nod to Tunisia, the real-world location where George Lucas filmed the Tatooine scene. The cocktail recipe includes ras el hanout, a spice mix native to Tunisia and other North African countries.

•1 ounce Don Julio blanco tequila

•½ ounce Apprendiz Espadin mezcal

•1/3 ounce Galliano Authentico

•1 ounce orange ras el hanout elixir (see recipe below)

•1/3 ounce simple syrup

•2 dashes of Force tincture (see recipe below)

Stir all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and pour into a rocks glass over one large cube of ice. Garnish with lemon zest, dehydrated lime wheel, and edible violet.

For the orange ras el hanout elixir, combine 1 liter of orange juice, 10 grams of ras el hanouth, and 30 grams of citric acid.

For the Force tincture, roast and grind 10 grams of dried hibiscus, 3 grams of mace (a relative of nutmeg), 20 grams of orange peel, 5 grams of Sichuan peppercorns, 4 cardamom pods, and 5 cloves. Flash fuse in iSi with one 750 ml bottle of white rum and 100 grams of ground dark roast coffee.
