Mazel Tov Cocktail
Ingredients:
• 4 parts Manischewitz
• Leftover oil from a cooking sheet of latkes
• An ounce of sweat taken from a teenage boy who had his first slow dance at a Bat Mitzvah
• 1/2 cup broth of that chicken soup recipe passed down from Bubbe
• A year’s worth of bottled up guilt collected from missing your mom’s Shabbat dinner one too many times
Instructions:
Mix all of the ingredients together in large vessel, serve in Kiddish cups and shout “L’chaim!” before slugging it all down.
