"A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored."
How can one represent the balance of good and evil, light vs dark, blue against red? One such method is by layering spirits atop one another.
This shot takes as its inspiration a sweet and syrupy Jedi side of the force against a bitter and malignant Sith side. A cool effect happens when you dash bitters into this shot since it is so light that it shoots back up to the top of the glass. In action, it almost looks like the forces of evil butting up against the forces of good, vying to keep the universe balanced on both sides.
To be fair, my ratio makes it look like the dark side is winning. Not a probably for a Sith lord such as myself. Darth Cameroxn approves 😈
The shot experience is also a tasty one. For me, the sweet syrup and moonshine exists in perfect harmony with the bitter orange and dry notes of the Campari and Angostura. Personally I am a bitters kinda guy, so I loved what was happening with this combo.

Ingredients:
- Blue Curaçao Syrup
- Blue Raspberry Liqueurs
Instructions:
From bottom to top, layer the curaçao syrup, the blue raspberry liqueur, the campari, and then top with Angostura bitters aggressively (the Ango will appear to hit against the Blue layers before rising back up to mix with the Campari, darkening the Dark Side of the Force further)
