The Outer Rim is a Star Wars cocktail that was created at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, an attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California. Named for the a sparsely populated region in the Tatoo system where smugglers, pirates, and other outlaws were often found, this copycat recipe was made using the Margarita template. It calls for a simple mixture of tequila, lime, sugar syrup, and black salt, but it also adds in tart açaí liqueur and a sludgy passion fruit garnish to give it some other-worldly edge.
Pour black salt onto a plate, rub part of outer rim of lowball glass with lime slice, and roll rim of glass in black salt until coated.
Add tequila, açaí liqueur, lime juice, and rich demerara syrup to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Add fresh cracked ice to salt-rimmed lowball glass.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into salt-rimmed glass.
Add passion fruit purée, simple syrup, and gelatin to a nitro whipper.
Shake nitro whipper for 30 seconds.
Carefully pour fruit purée garnish into top of glass at an angle so it floats on top of the drink.
