Bright Tree Swizzle

To close out the trilogy, “Bright Tree Swizzle” is a nod to Return of the Jedi’s central location, the forest moon of Endor. And, in honor of the Ewoks’ home, the drink is full of forest botanicals. It even includes Redwood shrub (recipe below), a tribute to California’s redwood forest, where the Endor scenes were filmed.

•1 1/3 ounces Death’s Door gin

•1/3 ounce Skinos Mastic liqueur (made from trees!)

•2/3 ounce Smoked Redwood shrub (see recipe below)

•½ ounce lime juice

•2 dashes of Force tincture

Build and churn in a clay mug over crushed ice. Serve with a short straw and garnish with a cinnamon stick, seasonal berries and dehydrated lemon wheel.

For the Redwood shrub, combine 1 kilogram of mixed forest fruits, 1 bush mint, 8.5 ounces of raspberry vinegar, a little over ¾ of an ounce of Laphroaig Scotch whisky, and 1 kilogram of sugar.
