This makes it the perfect day to celebrate stories from a galaxy far, far away with a special drink to match.

McFly joined Amin Seddiq, the beverage director at Taco Bamba, in his cocktail lab to create his take on a Yoda Margarita.

- mezcal (1.5 ounces or to taste)

Grab a shaker and fill it with ice. Add the ingredients and shake until cold. Sample and adjust to taste.
The Scene
The most fun things to do and places to be in D.C., Maryland and Virginia
To complete the Yoda look
To serve, our drink into a clear glass and decorate with ears, eyes and other flair.
The Yoda ears are made pineapple leaves. Clip the leaves so they stick to the class.
If you don’t have pineapple leaves at home, the skin of a lime or leaf from a house plant will do.
For Yoda’s eyes, dip semi-sweet chocolate chips into a glass
To finish the look, use a burlap cloth as Yoda’s robe and a cinnamon stick or twig as a walking stick.
If you're in the mood for margaritas for Star Wars Day or Cinco de Mayo, this could be a fun way to test your creativity.
