Bartender Chris Cheng of Westroot Tavern in San Diego professes a distaste for puns but couldn’t resist employing one for this decadent made with horchata vodka and cold-brew coffee. And as his city is home to an installment of the world’s biggest fantasy fest, Comic-Con, it’s only fitting that he’s ready to whip out a few George Lucas–loving cocktails faster than a nimble little Grand Master Yoda employs a lightsaber.
