Greedo's Last Drink
Sweet and sour with a kick of whiskey, this Star Wars-inspired Midori Sour pays tribute to the bounty hunter Greedo's last moments in the violence-riddled Mos Eisley Cantina from A New Hope. 
When I was four or five years old, I was watching TV on the couch with my dad as he flipped through the channels when he settled for a moment on a scene of a young, dirty-blonde man in a dessert, two dusky suns settling into the horizon.
That scene was the iconic one of Luke Skywalker outside his aunt and uncle's house on Tatooine, and it took only that instant to spark an obsession that has stayed with me my whole life. When my dad tried to move on to a new channel, I kept asking him to go back!
The next two nights I was allowed to stay up and watch episodes V and then VI, and my Christmas list for that year was nothing but Star Wars memorabilia and movies (I still have my well-worn original VHS tapes), and my infatuation with the Star Wars world continued to grow.
As a kid, I introduced myself to new neighbors with a plastic green lightsaber in hand and quoted my religion as "Jedi". As an adult I now have a puppy named (Princess) Leia, and a stipulation of my marriage to Zach was that if we ever have children, our firstborn son will be named Luke.
With Episode VII premiering in theaters tonight, I thought it was only fitting that I commemorated the saga that has been my obsession for over two decades with a recipe.
