Ep 208 - Star Wars

As we continue our Star Wars journey in between episodes 4 and 5, it’s interesting to see our favorite characters still in development. Hardly even the leaders in training we find in Empire, these are still the ragtag group of, well, rebels, that are still finding their place in the universe and where they fit into it in their fight against the empire. Still weak in The Force o their belief in it, even Han still relies on a good blaster and not the elegant weapon of a lightsaber. So for the Blast Him, I wanted something that was sweet and fruity but would also have a bit of a bite at the end.

10 basil leaves
1 oz vodka
1 is blackberry liqueur
1/2 oz triple sec
Splash of Grand Marnier
2 oz cranberry juice
2 oz strawberry puree
Cracked pepper

Add all ingredients but pepper into an ice-filled shaker and shake the shit out of it. Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice and garnish with fresh cracked black pepper.
