Any beverage produced from one of the five grains—barley, oats, rye, spelt, or wheat—is off the table for Passover but that doesn't mean you have to stick to Manischewitz. Here are some grain-free recipes for Kosher cocktails to pair with pestilence, blood, and boils. How about a Cockroach or a Bumpy Eruption?
Plague 3: Vermin Cocktail: The Cockroach
A perfect nightcap for an urban Seder. Enjoy several with macaroons. Just when you think you’re done, pour another. Leave the dishes overnight and don’t bother clearing the table or sweeping up the crumbs. Maybe you’ll awaken to a Passover miracle.
Ingredients:
2 oz Tequila
1 oz Kahlua or Sabra Coffee liqueur
Instructions: Pour Tequila into a brandy snifter. Without stirring, add Sabra or Kahlua. Add 1 ice cube.
Plague 6: Boils Cocktail: Bumpy Eruption
The go-to drink for when the afikomen surprise at your sister’s seder turns out to be the recently-divorced sweetheart you broke up with badly in high school and haven’t seen since. Swell for slow grudge-nursing throughout the evening, but for a truly memorable Passover meal you may want to down three in quick succession just before the partaking of the bitter herbs, all the better to bring to an explosive head every pustule of sibling rivalry, personal betrayal and unfulfilled promise that’s tormented your soul since the day you entered this vale of tears.
Especially satisfying with a big steaming pile of tsimmes.
Ingredients:
2 oz Cognac
1/2 oz Crème de Cassis
1 oz tequila
1/2 oz Cointreau
Instructions: Shake all ingredients in ice. Strain into martini glass. Garnish won’t help.
