As many are aware of, this weekend was Passover. For those who aren't familiar with what Passover is, it is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The holiday is synonymous with Matzo, the crispy flatbread made solely from water and flour.
On The Rocks... thought, in commemoration of the holiday and it's history, a cocktail would be suffice. Mazel tov!

Gin & Jewse
Drink Type: Cocktail
Ingredients:
1.5 oz. of gin
2 oz of Manischewitz
1 oz of fruit juice
Instructions:
In shaker, add ice along with specified ingredients. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with matching wedge of fruit if desired.
Description:
Well, we think unique is the perfect description. We have NEVER thought of using Manischewitz in a cocktail, yet, it was surprisingly delicious! We decided on using cherry juice for our drink, but, as stated above, the type of juice used is strictly preference based. The drink is smooth. While gin isn't our favorite of liquors, the Manischewitz does a wonderful job of softening the liquor's flavor. The chosen fruit juice is very important as we couldn't imagine this cocktail with a citrus fruit. Something about orange or pineapple and Manischewitz doesn't sit well with us. This cocktail is wonderful for festive occasions, a great replacement for a glass of wine. Le chiem.
