In honor of May the Fourth, aka National Star Wars Day, I decided to workshop a recipe for the ever infamous blue milk seen on screen in the Star Wars universe.
This is the third iteration of the recipe and I think it’s close to perfect. I went with a split base of orange and lemon juice because orange alone was far too sweet combined with the Coconut syrup (see recipe at bottom of post). I enjoy the split base rum as well but I wish I had Bacardi 8yr on hand I feel it would have worked much better.
Hope you all enjoy. Happy Star Wars day and may the force be with you.
