This fearless leader and his iconic green, red, and yellow Mandalorian armor inspires a sip that’s sweet, tart, and, quite literally, bursting with flavor. You’ll fall for the combination of kiwi and lime with a chase of tequila. Plus, the addition of Peach flavor Boba POPS Cocktail Caviar adds an exciting surprise that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat much like Return of the Jedi.
What is May the Fourth?
Every year on May the 4th, fans around the world celebrate Star Wars Day. This unofficial holiday arose organically from the clever pun, “May the Fourth be with you.” It’s a playful twist on the iconic Jedi blessing, “May the Force be with you.” Though not created by film franchise itself, the date has become a beloved tradition for fans to show their love for the franchise. Many celebrate with movie marathons, costume contests, themed treats, and social media celebrations.
