The Tatooine Sunset is a Star Wars–inspired cocktail by Cassandra Reeder, featured in The Geeky Bartender Drinks, and inspired by beverages from Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina. Built on tequila with desert-inspired flavors, it’s carefully layered to mimic Tatooine’s vivid sunsets and garnished with two cherries as a nod to the planet’s twin moons.
