With all the buzz around Star Wars: The Force Awakens, its no surprise that bars and restaurants are joining in the mayhem.

Located in El Segundo, Jackson’s Food and Drink has introduced The Light Saber cocktail in celebration of the new movie.

Vodka fans will appreciate this tart beverage made with premium Vodka, house-made lemonade, and muddled raspberries topped by fresh blueberries.

There’s a pleasant puckering at the start of each taste of this drink from the lemonade.  Its quickly mellows into a sweetness from the raspberry.  Texture is provided by raspberry bits and another flavor diversion comes from the fresh blueberry garnish.

Jackson's is prepping Star Wars fan for the most epic movie of the year with a cocktail aptly named The Light Saber.

Jackson’s is perfectly located to take in the latest episode of the world’s most popular space opera.  Its just steps away from the Arclight Cinema which makes it a prime destination for amping up anticipation before the show or geeky discussion of all the plot twists after.

Friday and Saturday they’re open until 11 PM; other nights until 9 PM.  Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 PM.  And if you happen to be stopping in on a Tuesday, you’ll also be able to take advantage of $1.50 short rib tacos and $4 margaritas from 4 PM to close.

May the force be with you!
