Chag Sameach (Happy Holiday) to you all! I hope that you are enjoying the holiday so far. In the spirit of the holiday season, I will keep this post short.
Introducing...
Bottom's Up!
two versions:
shot:
-one shot of triple sec or peach schnapps
-2 drops of vanilla extract
-shot of pineapple juice
-drop of grenadine
drink:
-one shot of vodka
-one shot of triple sec or peach shnapps
-2 drops of vanilla extract
-4 shots (or the rest of the glass) of pineapple juice
-drop of grenadine
Some of you may think that I chose this drink because during the upcoming holiday of Simchat Torah, that you may say the expression "Bottom's Up" a lot. However, there is another reason besides the name of the drink. If you look carefully, this drink is supposed to look the same if you look at the glass from the bottom up, or from the top down. This holiday is celebrating the end of the year of weekly readings of the Torah portions and the beginning of a new year of weekly readings of the Torah. I always thought that it was strange that we start the new Torah cycle at this time of year and not at Shavuot when we celebrate that we received the Torah. But, this is the season that we people get another chance at a new year, a fresh start. So, we are similar to the Torah in a way, still the same, but in a way different and changed for the new year.
Enjoy the next holiday and...bottom's up!
