How to:

Print out the Luke in a bacta tank image to fit your glass. Printing the image darker helps it show through.

Tape the image to the back outside of the glass. Set aside.

In a container mix the root beer flavored seltzer soda with a touch of blue food gel dye. Pour into the glass, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to serve.
