Thoroughly testing the depth of Star Wars nerdiness, Billy Nichols, the bar manager at Faun in Brooklyn, named this concoction after the species of rebel spies who provided the Rebellion with the plans to blow up the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. “I'm a Star Wars nerd,” says Nichols. “I thought this cloudy tequila cocktail looked the part.” This recipe originally appeared as part of “These 16 Star Wars Cocktail Recipes Come from a Galaxy Far, Far Away.”
