Both symbolize the bitterness and harsh conditions the Jews endured as slaves in Ancient Egypt. For maror, the first bitter herb, many people use freshly-grated or whole horseradish root.</p>\n\n<p>Our maror cocktail is basically a “borscht martini.” We didn’t invent the idea, and we’ve heard murmurs about various incarnations of the drink for the past couple of years. Double Cross Vodka promotes a recipe for one. Eastern Standard in Boston had something similar on their menu a while back. Camper English has written about both on his Alcademics blog.</p>\n\n<p>Our version comes to The Sipping Seder for three reasons. This is our favorite cocktail involving horseradish. We absolutely love beets. And, our recipe takes an interesting turn on the concept. We base our version on golden beets and use a red beet garnish so that the drink gradually changes color as you sip. It’s beautiful and a lot of fun to watch.</p>\n\n<p>Ingredients:</p>\n\n<p>3 oz (90 ml) Belvedere Vodka</p>\n\n<p>1 Small Golden Beet – raw, peeled</p>\n\n<p>1 Slice Fresh Horseradish – peeled, about the size of a quarter (25 x 25 x 2 mm)</p>\n\n<p>Fresh Red Beet – raw, peeled, for garnish</p>\n\n<p>Directions:</p>\n\n<p>1) Cut the golden beets and horseradish into small pieces and muddle thoroughly in a mixing glass with half an ounce (15 ml) of the vodka.</p>\n\n<p>2) Add the remaining vodka to the mixing glass and fill 2/3 full of ice. Shake vigorously.</p>\n\n<p>3) Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass.</p>\n\n<p>4) Garnish with a stick of red beet (about 1/8” x 3” or 80 x 5 mm) at the moment of serving.</p>\n\n<p>Notes:</p>\n\n<p>We suggest slipping the beet garnish into the cocktail as you serve it. The red color will begin to bleed out into the yellow liquid immediately. Leave it to your guest to observe or agitate the process as they see fit.</p>\n", "cliptype": "image", "clipsource": "SippingSeder.com", "featured": 1, "featuredIn": { "title": "Greatest Hits Haggadah", "slug": "greatest-hits-haggadah", "author": "Haggadot" }, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/163868/Maror-Cocktail_0.jpg", "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": "https://assets.haggadot.com/clips/163868/conversions/Maror-Cocktail_0-cover.jpg", "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maror", "slug": "maror" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 390, "tags": [ { "tag": "Food", "slug": "food" } ], "themes": [ { "theme": "Food", "slug": "food" } ], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Maror Cocktail | Passover haggadah by SippingSeder", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

It is typically represented by romaine lettuce, whose roots taste bitter. Like maror, it reminds us of the severity of a life lived in slavery.</p>\n<p>We thought about it quite a bit, but a lettuce-based drink just didn’t hold much appeal for us. Instead, we decided to take a more abstract approach to our chazeret cocktail. The recipe is based on Cynar. This Italian liqueur is made from artichokes and has a flavor profile that certainly fits with the idea of eating bitter plants.</p>\n<p>The inspiration for our recipe came from the special Passover-themed menu at Perbacco in San Francisco in 2008. The project was a collaboration of Perbacco Chef Staffan Terje and Chef Joyce Goldstein, author of <i>Cucina Ebraica: Flavors of the Italian Jewish Kitchen</i>. Following Sephardic traditions from Italy, many of the dishes offered included artichokes. Over the lovely meal, it was a running comment at our table that the thistly nature of the artichoke was an interesting representation of the Jewish experience throughout history.</p>\n<p>The garnish also has a special significance. For the past 30 years or so, progressive Jews have added an orange to the seder plate. The practice references an incident in which someone asked an orthodox rabbi when women would be allowed to bless the Torah. He replied, “Women belong on the bima like an orange belongs on the seder plate.” The custom began in response, and it’s a tradition of inclusivity we were proud to bring into The Sipping Seder.</p>\n<p><span><b><br /> </b></span><b>Ingredients:</b></p>\n<p>1 oz (30 ml) No. 209 Gin</p>\n<p>½ oz (15 ml) Carpano Antica</p>\n<p>½ oz (15 ml) Cynar</p>\n<p>¼ oz (7 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice</p>\n<p><span><b><br /> </b></span><b>Directions:</b></p>\n<p><i>1) Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass.</i></p>\n<p><i>2) Fill 2/3 full of ice.

We combine these with Leopolds's American Small Batch Gin, which has some light flowery flavors that pair well with the subtle vegetal taste of the parsley.

Many scholars believe it was a pre-existing pagan tradition which was absorbed into the seder ritual. This would explain why it sits on the plate without ever being used or referenced.
