The Sober Moses

InstaGrandma's Kitchen
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.

  • 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.

  • Combine the egg white and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 45-60 seconds.
