Instead of buying the official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook for new recipes, we’ve got the scoop on all things Star Wars to ensure your own copycat blue milk concoction is as authentic as standing in Oga’s Cantina.
Ingredients
To make delicious Blue Milk, you will need a mix of exotic ingredients that capture the taste of a galaxy far, far away. Here’s what you need:
- 2 cups of ice
- 3 cups of sweetened vanilla rice milk (plant-based dairy—essentially rice milk if you’ve got allergies)
- 1/2 cup of pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened lite coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of orange juice with the pulp (Pineapple chunks or juice can be a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Blue food coloring to create the iconic blue hue (ensure it’s safe and edible)
- 1 scoop of the Gatorade Glacier Ice powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by ensuring that all your ingredients are chilled, especially the beverages. This ensures that your blue milk is served cold. If this is your very first time making this recipe, follow these directions to a tee to ensure that it tastes just like the real thing.
- If you’re planning to use Mickey Mouse ice molds or other themed ice cube trays for a fun twist, prepare them and place them in the freezer.
- Before mixing, take a moment to set up your workstation with a blender and cups for serving.
- Have a taste test and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if needed.
- Remember to have fun with your Disney blue milk-making process! Play some Star Wars music to set the mood.
Cooking
- Combine the sweetened vanilla rice milk, pineapple juice, unsweetened coconut milk, orange juice, Gatorade Glacier Ice powder, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Carefully add drops of blue food coloring one drop at a time, stirring and checking the color until you achieve the perfect, otherworldly blue. Be cautious not to overdo it, so you don’t end up with neon blue milk.
- Once your blue milk base is ready, pour it into the blender, and add cups of regular ice. Blend until you achieve a smooth, slushy consistency, similar to a smoothie. It will have a slight berry flavor and you will have your blue milk cooler after this step.
- If using themed ice molds, add these to your serving glasses along with non-themed ice to keep the blue milk cold without diluting it.
- Pour your blue milk into the glasses and ensure that the “force” is with you as you serve.
Serving
To serve up the blue milk like they do in Batuu, the version of the Galaxy’s Edge beverage department, add a dusting of cinnamon.
If you’re preparing it for a Star Wars-themed party, get creative with toppings or serve in collectible Star Wars cups featuring all the outer rim planets. The possibilities are as endless as the galaxy itself!
Tips and Variations
- For an adult version, consider the addition of Bacardi rum or use passion fruit juice instead of orange juice for some dragon fruit flavors.
- Those with nut allergies can swap out the coconut milk for another plant-based option like oat or hemp milk for an allergy-friendly recipe. Use coconut syrup to ensure the taste stays the same.
- Prefer to skip the food coloring? Try using butterfly pea flower tea for a natural blue color.
- If blue isn’t your favorite color from the galaxy’s menu, swap out the blue food coloring for another shade, perhaps green for a Bantha milk.
- Next time it’s a hot day, have a Star Wars day and set up your own Disney store for a small commission. Have a milk stand with your famous blue milk, Galaxy’s Edge snack options, and ice cream, or even put your own spin on notable Disney recipes, such as a pineapple Dole Whip recipe. Make sure you have your Mickey Mouse mold ready!
- Try looking into green milk recipes for a twist on this Star Wars movies iconic drink.
