Forget the Wine! Try Tasty Kosher Cocktails for Passover Instead!
During the Passover Seder, try something with vodka or gin–all kosher of course, to have with your meal.
-PJ Gach
If your mom is anything like mine, she’ll drag out a dusty, million-years-old bottle of kosher wine for the Passover Seder. It doesn’t so much as pour out of the bottle as it gently glug, glugs its way into your pristine crystal goblet. Oh and you really wanted to drink that… not.
This year surprise the family with very tasty cocktails that are actually kosher! Both Bulldog Gin and Crystal Head Vodka are OU certified. And if that doesn’t win them over, mention that the cocktails have fruit in them. This way, you’ll gently remind them, they’ll be getting their daily dose of Vitamin C in each drink!
