The Sober Moses
This kosher for Passover non-alcoholic "mocktail," is inspired by the flavors that combine to make my favorite Passover dish- charoset! The drink is delicious, but it's the toasted walnut cinnamon sugar crusted rim that really makes this a stand-out drink for Passover or any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 egg white (optional), to give the drink a frothy top
- 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- ΒΌ lemon, juiced
- 8 oz sparkling cider
- 2 oz concord grape juice
- ice
Instructions
- Scatter your walnut pieces on a dry, hot skillet at medium-high heat. Stirring every minute or two, toast the walnuts until they're golden brown and fragrant (about 5 minutes). Remove them from the stovetop. Set them aside to cool. Once they're cool, grind them to a fine consistency.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground toasted walnuts, sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. Pour onto a small plate. Dip the rim of a coupe or martini glass in water, then dip the rim in the toasted walnut cinnamon sugar to coat the rim.
- Combine the egg white and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 45-60 seconds.
- Add the grape juice, cinnamon, and ice and shake for another 45 seconds.
- Strain into your toasted walnut cinnamon sugar-rimmed glass and then pour in the sparkling cider. Serve immediately.
