Now, listen: We’re Jews, so when we say bite-sized we mean a couple of bites and/or anything you can hold in your hand while your bubbe’s distant cousin tells you how big you’ve grown. (Or, if you’re at the good kind of Jewish party, while you hold a stiff drink in the other hand.)
Sure, us Jews aren’t known to be drinkers (outside of Purim, of course), but if you need a little something to get the party started, our pomegranate punch packs a… well, punch. Whip up a big batch before the guests arrive and let them help themselves. Or turn to an old favorite: Baileys, which, yes, is actually very Jewish. For those off the booze, limonana garuz, a frozen lemon-and-mint Israeli slushy, will cool you off between hora sessions.
Whether you’re throwing a b’nei mitzvah, brit milah, engagement or Hanukkah party, a Purim bash or just entertaining friends al fresco on a random summer evening, this selection of nosh-y nibbles will get everyone in the party spirit.
