Notes
Substitutes:
- Vodka: If you don't have vodka, you can use white rum for a different but enjoyable flavor. I've also tried gin, which adds a botanical twist.
- Jägermeister: If you're out of Jägermeister, try using another herbal liqueur like Fernet-Branca or another amaro for a similar complexity.
- Triple Sec: Opt for Cointreau or Grand Marnier for a more complex orange flavor.
- Whiskey: Any kind of whiskey will add a different character to the drink, if you are completely out of it, try to use brandy.
- Sweet and Sour Mix: If you need a store-bought mix, you can make your own by combining equal parts lemon juice, water, and simple syrup.
Making a Pitcher of Death Star Cocktail:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 8 oz of vodka, 8 oz of Jägermeister, 8 oz of Triple Sec, 8 oz of Jameson, and 16 oz of sweet and sour mix.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the vodka, Jägermeister, Triple Sec, whiskey, and sweet and sour mix. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled highball glasses, top off with cola, stir gently, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Vodka Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic vodka substitute; these are available and reasonably mimic vodka's neutral profile.
- Jägermeister Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic herbal liqueur or make an herbal tea concentrate with similar spices.
- Triple Sec Substitute: Use an orange-flavored non-alcoholic syrup.
- Whiskey Substitute: Try a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative or use strong black tea for depth.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
