There's something amusing about the thought of roaming around Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge with a Moof Juice in hand. Maybe it's because it's hard to say the word "moof" without smirking. Maybe it's because Wookieepedia says a Moof is a hoofed creature in the Star Wars galaxy that can be milked. No, not blue milk (that accolade goes to the female bantha).
Moof Juice, like its Batuubucha Tea and Phattro companions, is a non-alcoholic beverage served at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. As per the menu, Moof Juice consists of Simply Orange with Pineapple juice, Simply Fruit Punch, and chipotle pineapple. As if to echo Batuu's salutation BRIGHT SUNS, this drink lights up in a brilliant shade of cantaloupe orange.
Simply Orange with Pineapple juice and Simply Fruit Punch are fairly easy to track down at your local grocery store. The one element that may be a bit harder to procure is the chipotle pineapple flavoring. We think this is a bottled syrup from Monin, a flavored syrup company with US headquarters in Clearwater, Florida.

Notes
We really enjoyed the tropical flavor of this drink. Adding a slight spiciness, the chipotle pineapple syrup is a unique and fun addition. While the syrup lacks chipotle flavor, it more than makes up for it with scrumptious pineapple and heat...and, boy, is it yummy.
You'll need to add more than a 1/2 tablespoon of syrup to feel the spice. With a 1/2 tablespoon, there's just a slight heat in the aftertaste.
Alternatively, if you aren't a fan of spicy, we recommend adding this syrup by the teaspoon until you achieve the right level of spice. Or, if you'd prefer yours with no spice, this can certainly be enjoyed without syrup. Overall, this drink was really fun and incredibly easy to make at home.
On our quest to learn more about Moof Juice, we also learned the term "moof milker" can be used as an insult. We dare you to use it next time you see a Storm Trooper roaming Batuu!
