Mixin' It Up

11/4/2019

 
Picture
Fourth Year Seminar is designed to engage current Fourth year students in meaningful conversations about how to incorporate Judaism into their post-grad lives. Staff and students discuss topics such as where to find a Jewish community, battling loneliness after college, maintaining self care practices, finding love, establishing values, how to negotiate in careers, and much more. 

This year's Fourth Year Seminar kicked off with a Jewish Mixology Course using Jewish culture-inspired recipes by Jeffrey Yoskowitz of The Gefilteria. They were such a hit, we thought you'd like to give them a try!

Seeded Rye Cocktail:
1 oz whiskey 
1 oz caraway syrup
  • 1/3 cup caraway seeds
  • 1 1/4 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup sugar
1.5 oz soda water
1 squeeze of lemon juice
lemon twist for garnish

Instructions:
(For the syrup)
In a non-stick pan, toast the caraway seeds over medium heat, stirring often, until brown and fragrant, but not burnt. In a small pan or bowl, stir together the boiling water and the sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour in the toasted caraway seeds. Stir and let steep until cool. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain out the seeds, reserving the syrup. Store in fridge.

Place all ingredients except the lemon twist in a rocks glass. Add 1 ice cube and stir, garnishing with lemon twist. 

Celery Collins Cocktail 
4-6 cucumbers
2 oz gin
1 oz celery syrup
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp celery seeds
1.5 oz lime juice 
5 oz seltzer 

Instructions:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber slices, reserving one for garnish. Fill the shaker with ice and pour in the gin, syrup, and lime juice. Shake vigorously until cold. Pour into a glass with ice and top with seltzer, garnish with cucumber.
