Everything Included In Disney's $5,000 Star Wars Cocktail
"Star Wars" fans, Disney has an experience for you. It'll set you back a few thousand though, but we'll let you decide if it's worth it. Set aboard the Disney Wish — one ship of many in the Disney cruise fleet — and you'll find the Hyperspace Lounge (via WDW Radio). You'll need to make reservations to get in, but once you do, you'll be immersed in the kind of setting sci-fi fanatics dream of. If you're familiar with "Star Wars," think Dryden Vos's First Light space yacht, meets the Canto Bight casino from "Solo: A Star Wars Story."
To get inside the bar, you'll need to navigate a series of corridors and electric doors, warns Mickey Blog. When you're finally inside, Star Wars assures bartenders are hard at work serving drinks across sleek tables — the bright red Berken's Flow (it looks like lava), a smoky Tatooine Freetown Reserve that reveals a blue ice cube stamped with the Hyperspace logo, and an air-bubble topping The Chancellor. In addition to all these fantastical libations, you can also order the Kaiburr Crystal cocktail.
The drink features top shelf liquor
The beverage arrives in a camtono, a small contraption that requires some engagement to unlock. Movie buffs will recognize the white cylindrical shape from "The Empire Strikes Back," "The Mandalorian," and "The Book of Boba Fett." Just like in the movies, a code is needed to open the safe that contains your drink, per Elite Daily. After you've successfully navigated the locked switches, compartment doors will open, you'll hear some beeping noises, and fog will reveal your top shelf libation.
The cocktail includes cognac, yuzu, kumquat fruits, a limited edition Grand Marnier, shots of the 23-year Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve bourbon, and an extra boost from the Kingsman Edition of Taylor Fladgate Very Old Tawny Port (via About Theme Parks). In case you're wondering about the cost of any of these drinks, one bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac, for example, can be sold for $4,000, reports Insider. As you sip or throw back your beverage, you can take comfort in the fact the silver plated cups you are drinking from are yours to take home.
The other perks you'll receive
Purchasing the Kaiburr Crystal also means that at some point during your cruise, you'll find a slurry of gifts in your room — flowers, a backpack, pillow, blanket, tumbler and bottle, Skywalker wine, and a certificate for a tour of Skywalker Ranch, per Paste Magazine.
North of San Francisco, the ranch is the home of George Lucas' Lucasfilm sound design and post-production facility which has multiple stages, sound design and editing suites, and a 300-person theater with one of the most advanced sound systems in the world (via Lucasfilm). Skywalker Sound describes the surrounding land as one of farms, gardens, vineyards, and olive groves — all set against the backdrop of Lake Ewok. Employees of the ranch call it a "filmmaker's retreat," a sprawling 4,700-acre plot of land that even produces Wagyu beef, according to CBS.
Is all this worth the $5,000 price tag? We'll let you decide.
