This Bantha Milk Cocktail is very similar in colour and taste to the Blue Milk sold at Disney Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, except we added alcohol for a more grown-up drink. We also share below a non-alcoholic recipe of the Bantha Milk.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Those words always give me goosebumps. Especially followed by the symphonic fanfare that always precludes one of the most recognizable film scores of all time. The only thing better than watching George Lucas’s epic space opera is becoming a part of it when you enter the outer rim planet of Batuu. This galactic outpost is also known as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and many lucky guests will have a chance to experience it again at Disneyland when it finally reopens just in time for May 4th. Imagine chugging blue Bantha Milk in the First Order occupied region of Black Spire, or chomping on a pod roasted Ronto Wrap before picking up some rare antiquities from the local Hammerhead Dok Ondar.
Where Does Bantha Milk Come From?
The story is that an Aqualish dairy farmer named Bubo Wamba came to Batuu to set up a milk stand in Black Spire’s Market to sell Blue Milk also known as bantha milk, a refreshing blue beverage. Banthas are large, furry, desert-dwelling mammals that produce a sweet train of blue milk. Blue Milk of Tatooine is the famous beverage Luke Skywalker drinks in the Star Wars: A New Hope movie.
Where To Get Blue Milk At Galaxy’s Edge
Of course, with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, voyagers visiting Batuu can now purchase the delicious Bantha Blue Milk at the Milk Stand.
May the 4th Be With You Star Wars Cocktail
May 4th has long been the chosen day for Star Wars fans to spread their love of the influential franchise. Although many of us still won’t get to be at the most immersive Star Wars experience on the planet, we can still celebrate in our own way, especially by bringing a little bit of the Disney parks home with us. I am partial to the original trilogy, so I have to partake in some blue milk from my favourite wooly Tatooine quadruped, the Bantha.
Who Shot First?
The recipe I have for this tasty 8 oz Bantha Milk cocktail contains 4 oz of alcohol. It’s a frothy and creamy concoction containing coconut rum, Disaronno, and Blue Curacao mixed with milk and heavy cream with just a touch of vanilla. If you love Star Wars, you can indulge in this beverage while you watch your favourite episodes. Just don’t drink this and attempt the Kessel Run.
How To Make A Nonalcoholic Bantha Milk (Mocktail)
Of course, you can also make an alcohol-free version of the Bantha Milk by using 4 oz of blue Cool-Aid, Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Blast, or Berry Blue Typhoon Hawaiian Punch and serving it with a sugar cookie on top. The non-alcoholic Star Wars Bantha Milk is kid-friendly and great for Star Wars birthday parties or celebrations.
