Purim is one of those goodies in the book promoting something fun like indulging and reclining or keeping all the lights off and pleasing wifey on the hebdomadaire, or–this time, wholesome roleplay! Not a pagan holiday like Halloween, dressing for the ho-down to get Merv the Perv all hot and sweaty is good by ma, and if you’re going at the evening with libations so potent you risk hooking up with another raver, well, that’s even better by the tribe. So lose yourself in your too-short Esther garb with more timely bevs:
Drinks for a Purim Rave
Esther’s a Silvester
This cross-dressing drink will make you see rainbows. Technicolor Jell-O Shots plus your Purim poison of choice. Cans of whipped cream set up for the daring and you’ve got yourself an evening.
But if you don’t dig hoof, I’m sure an alternativerecipe uses none of it if you can figure it out.
Haman’s Nuts
If you’re lost on what to do with the tub of Nutella in your cupboard that you’re not eating, get that baby on a double boiler and dilute your bottle of Grand Marnier.
For the rest of us, here’s what you need to shake and serve on ice:
1 shot Chocolate liqueur
1 shot Hazelnut liqueur
½ shot Grand Marnier
2 cherries
Mordechai’s Wire Whiskey
This is a night to celebrate. It’s the good Jewish boy’s version of a lucky hustler on a binge. Say it with me: tonight’s the night. Break out the good stuff. If you can’t get yourself on a plane to Chicago’s Delilah’s, stock your place with their specials–because a whiskey good enough for a cheap bastard on a St. Paddy’s rampage in Lincoln Park is good enough for this party. Do it all weekend.

Ahashverous’s Insomnia
We might have to admit to that tinge of sad when a limit on the Kinsey scale of American drinking habits was found in 4Loco, formerly sold next to the Franzia. So practice your freedoms if you’re a good American and have a nice legal time.
(Sugarfree) Redbull
Pomegranate 5 Hour Energy
Flask of vodka
Pocket the ingredients, unless you’re rockin a Camelback. Conducive to staying on the go, even the busiest of bodies can celebrate as the king of his oyster.
Build-Your-Own-Grogger
Grogger? Just another word for beerbong. If you build it, they will come. So get the party started and pour all that valuable homebrew down the drain.
