Star-Lord Mocktail -from Guardians of the Galaxy
"But Guardians of the Galaxy is a movie!" one well-meaning party-goer tells you.
"It was a comic book, first," we're reminded by the comic book nerd at your party. And they're both right.
With your favorite Guardians of the Galaxy characters featured in Disney Infinity 2.0, however, you can proudly say you've stuck with the gaming theme of your party with a mocktail for your designated driver that tastes great and still has quite a kick.
