Let’s be honest—May the 4th is basically a food holiday at this point, right? This year, we’re taking your Star Wars celebration beyond just watching the movies for the fifteenth time (no judgement) with 41 recipes that are fun but won’t make you roll your eyes. Think grown-up Star Wars food—not just blue milk and Wookie cookies. We’ve got everything from cocktails that would fit right in at a Coruscant rooftop bar to dinner party dishes that happen to look like Death Stars. Some recipes are obvious nods to the iconic franchise, like those Tatooine sunset mocktails that are actually delicious, while others are more subtle, perfect for when you want to be festive without going full costume party with your food. The best part is you can make most of these with regular grocery store ingredients, so you don’t need to send your droid on any special missions.
