On the eve of the 2016 US Presidential election, Jews provided some indirect comic relief to a very tense nation.Interviewing on CNN Sunday night, Republican nominee Donald Trump's surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes was following up on a pro-Trump advert attacking Clinton supporters Jay Z and Beyonce, by saying one of the rap star's videos contained a scene of a crowd throwing “Mazel Tov cocktails” at police.
Clearly she meant "Molotov cocktails," however a quick Google search of the term shows it has cropped up before.The Mazel Tov cocktail is a curious mixture of Manischewitz wine, that pillar of American Jewish culture, gin, and lime. Something for voters to get through the next 36 hours before the results, perhaps.Recipe (via foodrepublic.com): 3 ounces Manischewitz 1 1/2 ounces Gin Twist of limeDirections: Combine wine and gin in an old-fashioned glass with ice cubes and stir well. Garnish with lime twist and serve.Sit back and sip your beverage as you watch the election results roll in.
