Passover is coming! And while we often rave about the GREAT food from friends like Steve Peljovich at Michael’s Deli or Galit Grutman from Galit’s Treats, I wanted to check in with another ffiend who can help us all wash down their delicious delights- at least after Passover is over.

Chabad Rabbi Chaim Litvin (a.k.a., Bourbon Rabbi) has just released his latest taste sensation- Bourbon Rabbi Cacao Finish!

As the name suggests, it is Rabbi Litvin’s miraculously good Bourbon finished with real brain-boosting cacao to make a drink that has a remarkably smooth and slightly sweet finish that, with its notes of espresso, vanilla, and even toasted marshmallow, makes for a drink you will always want s’more of.

If you like your Bourbon more like your wine than your cocoa, Rabbi Litvin also offers a Cabernet-finished variety. And if you want to reminisce about the Land of Milk and Honey, he has bottles infused with honey alone or honey and cinnamon. 

Though Bourbon is technically not kosher for Passover, it’s not long now until Jews around the world celebrate Shavuot, when they were given the Torah. Tradition holds that, as nobody is sure exactly what time this ultimate gift was bestowed, we should stay up all night studying so we are ready when the moment arrives. Might I recommend a bottle of Bourbon Rabbi to help you make it through the night?

Even if you do not observe Jewish holidays, I hope that you can find reasons in your daily lives to be thankful for what we have and to raise a l’chaim with family and friends. When you do, be sure to have a Rabbi on hand to help you celebrate. It makes every celebration even sweeter!
