Drinks at Oga’s Cantina: what you should order

Updated with new menu additions – A look into the full menu of drinks at Oga’s Cantina and recommendations on what you should order based on your tastes and preferences:

I love visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. I enjoy Star Wars but I’m not a diehard fan… but the immersive environment is right up my alley and I love feeling like I’m actually in Batuu rather than Hollywood Studios. And one of my favorite things to do there is to pay a visit to Oga’s Cantina.

From the moment you enter it feels like you’ve joined a slightly seedy alien bar. Most of the tables are standing room only or standing at the bar. The servers are in character the whole time – usually slightly abrupt and making comments about the “foreigners” visiting. And almost always trying to eat my shoulder porg (it’s a thing). DJ Rex is spinning tunes, and for certain ones the bartenders even chant along. There are creatures in tanks on top of the bar.

But of course like any bar, Oga’s is really about the drinks! They don’t really serve food (there’s a few munchies but not meals) so don’t be looking for lunch here. Their drink menu has a variety of specialty alcoholic cocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails, 4 different beers, 2 wines, and a hard cider. You’re technically limited to 2 drinks per visit, though I’ve noticed they’ve been lenient with this.

The drinks are also very unique. You’re not going to find a typical cosmo or moscow mule with a different name here. With so many options you haven’t tried before, how do you know what to order?

Lucky for you, I’ve tried every specialty alcoholic cocktail, a few non-alcoholic ones, all the beers, and one of the wines… so I’m happy to share some info with you! In order to give you an understanding of what you might enjoy best, I’m going to do an “if you like this, try this.” That way you’ll have an idea of what you might really enjoy!

If you like gin & tonic… try the Nysillin and Bubbles with Brub Berry Essence

Here’s one of the newer drinks on the menu, a blueberry inspired gin and tonic. It uses Empress Gin and tonic water, but also adds elderflower liqueur and blueberry-lime juice. Although my previous favorite drink has been removed from the menu (the Dagobah Slugslinger), this might be in the running for my new favorite.

If you like flavored margaritas… try the Outer Rim

This has a lot of the elements of a traditional margarita, such as tequila and lime juice, but it also makes things more interesting by adding acai liqueur and “exotic fruit puree” to make it a little more sweet. And don’t be alarmed by the black stuff on the rim – it’s just black salt.

If you like mai tais… try the Mythosaur

This is a fun fruity drink, with two types of rum, blue curacao, and POG juice (passion orange guava). It’s a nice tropical cocktail, and I found it to be well balanced. It was sweet but not sickly sweet. Plus it comes with a souvenir mug!

If you like a hurricane… try the Yub Nub

This tastes like what I like to call a fairly typical “cruise ship drink” – lots of tropical flavors and fruit juices with spiced rum. It may be one of the more “ordinary” drinks on the menu, but you do have the option to purchase the super cool Endor mug with it.

If you like cosmpolitans… try the Jedi Mind Trick

To be honest, I expected more out of this bright blue drink, especially with the mention of grapefruit vodka and grapefruit bitters. But I found the flavor of grapefruit to be very faint. It’s mainly about the vodka and blue curacao, with white grape juice instead of cranberry.

If you like old fashioneds… try the Jet Juice

This is going to be pretty different than an old fashioned, to be honest, but it’s the only cocktail that contains bourbon or whiskey. It adds a chile liqueur and an acai liequeur, which gives it a very unique flavor.  I really enjoyed it, so if you’re usually not quite so adventurous I still recommend trying it.

If you like a fuzzy navel… try the Fuzzy Tauntaun

According to our last server this is probably the most popular drink here… but it comes with a big warning. It’s served topped with a “tingling” foam. And yes, this foam will numb your mouth and feel rather odd! But once you get past that it’s a pretty straight forward, sweet and tasty drink with peach vodka, peach schnapps, and orange juice.

If you like a Mezcal Paloma… try the Sylop

It doesn’t look like a paloma, and it certainly has some differences, but it’s more similar than you might guess! A paloma is traditionally tequila and grapefruit juice. This has the grapefruit juice and uses mezcal as the tequila, which gives a smokier flavor. It adds lime juice for a little balance. It does have some spicy elements to it as well. The rim was spicy, but the drink itself adds a jalapeno concentrate. I actually didn’t find the drink to be spicy at all (amazingly, you could actually taste the jalapeno flavor without the spiciness!). But if you are very sensitive to spicy then you might want to avoid this one.

If you like Rum punch… try the Bespin Fizz

Here you’ve got rum and a few different fruit juices… however it’s certainly one of the most fun drinks with a dry ice effect creating a swirling cloud above the beverage!

If you like coffee cocktails… get the Corellian Spike Cold Brew

Coffee and bourbon go surprisingly well together, and that’s what you have here – along with vanilla and brown sugar syrup added. It’s topped with an ube foam. I really don’t like the taste of ube (I’ve learned!), so it kind of ruined this drink for my taste buds. I’d be curious to see if they could do it without the foam, and how that could be. But if ube doesn’t turn you off like it does me, and you enjoy a coffee cocktail (or you just need some extra caffeine to get you through the rest of your theme park day!), this is a fun new addition.

If you like a Bloody Mary… get the Bloody Rancor with Candied Meat

No photograph for this one – it’s the only drink at Oga’s I haven’t tried because I don’t like Bloody Marys at all. I will need a friend who does to accompany me in the future so I can at least get a sip, and have them give some feedback! But from the description it sounds like if you like a Bloody Mary, that’s pretty much what you’ll get here.

If you’re a fan of craft beer… get the Gold Squadron Lager

There are a few different craft beers on the menu, but the Gold Squadron Lager is a really solid choice that I think most beer lovers will enjoy. It’s also made by the brewery that’s in my (tiny) home town, Blue Point! If you like IPAs, the Bad Motivator IPA is a nice choice. A beer flight is sadly no longer available.

If you like wine… try the Toniray

This is good if you’re a little less adventurous but still want to be with the theme. It’s basically like the typical chardonnay, but it’s colored blue so it’s more fun! If you’re a fan of red wines there’s also the Imperial Guard wine.

If you want a nonalcoholic beverage… try the Cliff Dweller

This is a fun fruity drink (Citrus Juices, Coconut, Hibiscus-Grenadine, and Ginger Ale served in a souvenir porg mug) that isn’t sickly sweet. It’s great for anyone who doesn’t drink alcohol or for kids. Plus it comes in the most adorable porg mug so obviously I couldn’t say no to this.

Oga’s Cantina really is one of my favorite places to visit in Galaxy’s Edge because so many of the drinks are unique and I enjoy so much on the menu! I’ve made a reservation there for every trip I’ve been since it’s opened, and I’m sure I will continue to do so for future trips.

Graveyard of Oga’s Cantina drinks

Galaxy’s Edge and Oga’s Cantina opened in 2019, and does occasionally go through a menu update. There are some drinks which are no longer available, but for the sake of theme park history I wanted to keep them in this blog post. Below are a look at a few of the Oga’s Cantina beverages that are not currently on the menu:

The Dagobah Slugslinger

This was my recommendation if you liked a Moscow Mule, or any drink with ginger. It was also my personal favorite drink at Oga’s. The Dagobah Slugslinger consisted of tequila, blue curacao, and citrus juices. It was unlike any other drink I’ve had anywhere, and I really enjoyed it.

T-16 Skyhopper

This one was for the melon-lovers. It had midori and kiwi, but also added some cream to make a really smooth cocktail.

Rancor teeth beer flight

Yes, this beer flight was $85. You did get the souvenir cups (teeth?) for that price, and it was a great way to try 4 different craft beers. They are now down to only 3 beers on the menu, and no flight is available. My favorite of the beers was removed, which was the White Wampa Ale.

FAQs about drinks at Oga’s Cantina

What is the best drink at Oga’s Cantina?

Everyone’s tastes are so different that it’s hard to say, which is why I created this guide to help you decide what you might like best! That being said, right now my personal favorite is the Nysillin Bubbles – I like it because I love blueberry, and I enjoy gin drinks. The Fuzzy Tauntaun seems to be the most popular with guests. I think the Bespin Fizz is also a very solid option.

Is Oga’s Cantina worth it?

In my opinion, absolutely. The drinks are fun and unique, and the atmosphere is so much fun. I love visiting there, and if you don’t want to spend a lot on drinks there are non-alcoholic options or you can just get one drink to check it out. If you can get a reservation I would try to make a visit.

How do I get a reservation at Oga’s?

The vibe in Oga’s Cantina is definitely “small bar,” and the number of people they can accommodate is somewhat low – that means reservations may be hard to come by. Try right at your 60 day mark for later in your trip, and be willing to go at an off time. I have been to Oga’s at 9:30am before… hey, it’s vacation!

Is Oga’s Cantina just a bar?

Basically, yes. They have a few snack type items but there’s no real food or meals there. Many people get confused about this when they see that Oga’s Cantina requires reservations and the website lists a “lunch/dinner” menu. But that’s really just their way of saying the times that it’s open. Don’t go here expecting to have a meal unless you like liquid lunch.

How much do the drinks at Oga’s Cantina cost?

The specialty drinks are typically in the $15-17 range. Beer and wine are a bit less. Non-alcoholic specialty drinks are around $6-7. This is not including anything that comes in a souvenir cup, which is obviously more.
