Recipes: Trader Sam's "The Child"
/Today we bring you a tropical recipe inspired by our favorite character from a galaxy far far away! The Child, or more popularly known as Baby Yoda, has made his way into all our hearts and now he’s made his way into our drinks! By now most of you have probably got wind of the secret menu item at Trader Sam’s based off the little green guy from The Mandalorian.
Since there is no official recipe, tons of bloggers have tried to figure out exactly what’s in this drink. They all came up with similar variations, so we chose the one we were able to make with what we had in our bar.
Here’s what you’ll need
1oz White Rum
.5oz Spiced Rum
.5oz Midori
3oz Pineapple Juice
Splash of Blue Curaçao
Stir all ingredients with ice until just chilled, then strain into your glass of choice over ice.
The easiest part to figure it out is the presentation. If you want to be true to the Trader Sam’s cocktail, you’ll need a coup glass filled with ice then add grapes for eyes and lime slices for ears and tie a napkin around a glass. While that’s cute and all, we wanted to use our new Baby Yoda Tiki Mug for this one!
Were any of you able to try this out at Trader Sam’s before we went in to shelter in place? If not, try out the recipe and let us know what you think! Now that The Mandalorian season 2 has been announced for the end of October, we know what we’ll be mixing up while we binge the latest episodes!
It’s been a while since we’ve tried out a new recipe, and since we’ve had this Easy Tiki book since August we figured it was a great place to start!
