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.

Kendall’s Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Kendall's Take: "From the template, my guess is this is Galaxy Edge's Star Wars-inspired version of a Margarita most guests would like. I'll be honest, I don't know that I would make it again, at least not with the garnishes. The drink itself is quite tasty, but the puréed garnish was a pain in the butt to make. You could easily omit the passion fruit goop on top and still enjoy the cocktail for what it is. Açaí is a fun addition to the mix, and I can see myself sipping on The Outer Rim at a Star Wars-themed party, just without the black salt and sludge."
