The Yub Nub 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. This copycat recipe was made in an homage to the Battle of Endor from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, which depicts the original trilogy's gang fighting the empire alongside the Ewoks, small furry creatures that many fans think resemble teddy bears. Given the moon's somewhat tropical setting, it makes sense that the drink, named for the song sung by the Eworks in the original cut of the movie, would use the tiki template, pairing spiced rum with both tangy passion fruit, pineapple, and lime as well as aromatic bitters.
Add spiced rum, passion fruit syrup, lime juice, pineapple rum, and bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Add fresh cracked ice to a tiki mug or highball glass.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into tiki mug or highball glass.
Garnish with passion fruit seeds.
