Louis Hirsch, the GM of Morels Steakhouse & Bistro at The Palazzo in Las Vegas, created this nod to reluctant rebel pilot and all-around intergalactic heartthrob Han Solo because only a person of his confidence could find a positive use for that pink-headed stepchild of the wine world, white zinfandel.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Partida blanco tequila
  • 1/2 oz Agave nectar
  • 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz White zinfandel
  • Garnish: Lemon wheel
  • Garnish: Straw

Steps

  1. Combine the tequila, agave nectar and juice into a shaker with ice and shake.

  2. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass.

  3. Float with the white zinfandel.

  4. Cut a hole in the corner of a lemon wheel (so it looks like the Death Star) and garnish.

  5. Add a straw.
