Kosher-for-Passover Gin Cocktails

Much attention has been (deservedly) lavished upon the Sipping Seder in the past few weeks. Along with our very insightful article , there have been write-ups in SF Weekly, KQED's food blog Bay Area Bites and Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The creators are local San Franciscans as are the makers of Distillery No. 209 Kosher-for-Passover Gin. So when I got the chance to try some of the locally-made kosher gin, I decided to go for it and whip up some Sipping Seder-inspired suggestions from Distillery No. 209.

For a group of four, my cohabitating boyfriend and I mixed a cocktail No. 209 recipe called "The Sipping Seder" (created by Rob Corwin and Danny Jacobs of the Sipping Seder itself) with Carpano Antica (sweet vermouth), cynar (artichoke bitters) and lemon juice.

It was a hit with the group, garnering positive descriptions such as "light," "refreshing" and "summery."

We next tried "The Seder Sour" with warmed honey, a dash of horseradish (!), lemon juice and soda water. That concoction?

Not quite as popular. We also whipped up a batch of "The Tom Collins," which were deemed delicious, though I'm not sure of the Jewish/Passover connection for that one?

Conclusions — stick with the Sipper Seder cocktail and your Passover table accolades will be plentiful.

Chag sameach Pesach — and happy drinking!
