After you’ve been out on the frozen tundra and cut open a tauntaun to warm up your friend, nothing hits the spot quite like a big glass of tasty, frozen carbonite. True, there’s an overlay of irony but it just feels right.
Icy, chocolatey, and topped off with a tall peak of whipped cream, this sweet concoction is irresistible even on the chilliest night in the Outer Rim. On top of it all you’ll find a square of Han Solo encased in creamy, milk chocolate. Liquid carbonite: the tastiest drink in perfect hibernation.
