Don’t skip making these cocktails. They are YUMMY!!
Rock legend Sammy Hagar is celebrating Star Wars Day on May 4
by Sharing Five Cocktail Recipes That Are Out of This World!
You won’t need a protocol droid to translate these Star Wars-themed drinks, which have been renamed in honor of the iconic film series.
The drinks are a fun twist on existing recipes from his best-selling cocktail book, “Sammy Hagar’s Cocktail Hits,” and all feature his award-winning
brand Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum. May the 4th be with you!
The Sith Lord
In the times of the Old Republic, there were legions of Sith. However, that all changed when the rule of two was introduced, which stated that
there may be no more than two Sith at any given time, the master and the apprentice.
Luckily for you, no such rule exists when it comes to this sinfully delicious twist on the Kir Royale, now aptly named The Sith Lord.
You may have as many as your heart desires!
This villainous red-tinctured drink is a swanky cocktail perfect for sipping from the throne room of the Death Star or in the cockpit of an
Imperial Star Destroyer as you hunt down Jedi scum. Be careful though!
This champagne-based drink is the pathway to such a great time that it could be considered “unnatural.”
The Sith Lord aka Kir Royale
Ingredients:
1 ounce Sammy’s Beach Bar Red Head Rum, divided
4 ounces of chilled champagne
Garnish: fresh lemon twist
Preparation:
Add half the rum to a chilled champagne flute.
Slowly add the chilled champagne until ½ inch from the top.
Top with the remaining rum.
Garnish with a fresh lemon twist.
The Rebel Princess
The Rebel Princess is an intergalactic twist on Sammy’s Coconut Mojito, and on a hot May day, this flavorful white drink
may be your “only hope” for some refreshment.
Like the Princess of Alderaan, this drink’s dainty and pretty outward appearance belies an inner power beyond belief!
This spunky drink pairs the traditional mojito ingredients of rum, lime, mint, and cane sugar with the tropical nuances of coconut.
Whether you’re sipping this drink in the hot Tatooine sun or getting ready for a night at Mos Eisley Cantina, this drink has got you covered.

The Jawa Roast
Jawas, those loveable little creatures who abducted R2D2 and C3PO at the beginning of “A New Hope,” have been a long-time favorite
of fans of the series. These pint-sized scavengers spend their lives traversing the desert looking for any sort of scraps of metal or droids that
they can sell.
So what’s the secret to their infectious energy, despite spending a lifetime under the heat of two suns on the harsh desert planet?
Meet The Jawa Roast, a Tatooine twist on Sammy’s Red Head Roast, this spiked coffee cocktail is the perfect drink to give you the energy
to “crawl” out of the house and have a good time.
Sammy Hagar guarantees that you’ll be sucking this one up to the last drop like a Jawa who just found droids wandering the desert.
