In this week's parsha we read the famous story about Moshe hitting the rock, instead of speaking to the rock. Basically, a quick summary: The Jewish People are in the desert on their way to Israel and are complaining of thirst and have been complaining in general a lot. I don't blame them because who wants to be in a desert anyway? (Just kidding, Josh! And Jenn! And all of my Israeli people who love the desert, except that I'm kind of serious too) Anyway, so God told Moshe to speak to this one rock and then the water will come pouring out. But, out of frustration or possibly other reasons, Moshe hits the rock instead. Water comes out anyway, so it sort of works out. However, because of this and maybe other reasons, Moshe is not allowed to enter the Land of Israel.
Since this method did work, I felt inspired to introduce the idea of "on the rocks". There are 2 meanings to this:
1) simple meaning: some kind of alcohol (usually scotch or vodka) over ice
2) not-so-well-known meaning: a kind of mixed drink, usually in the form of a shot glass
So, I am giving an option of either one of these interpretations for this week's drink because both get the same result. (sound familiar???)
Choice 1) your favourite scotch over ice
Choice 2) Sea Breeze: 1 shot of vodka, 1 shot of orange juice, 1 shot of grapefruit juice (fitting since it is about water...)
