We love Purim, but there sure is a lot to do. Like hamantaschen, the holiday is jam-packed. You’ve got to assemble and deliver shalach manot, hear the Megillah twice, give charity, plus eat and drink to excess. How do you fit it all in? This year, make the most of your time by multitasking with this handy drink-shaker/noisemaker. You can blot out Haman’s name and mix up a tasty martini at the same time. It’s a grog-filled grogger! It’s two birds with one stone! Enjoy.

Drink fixings

1. Take your martini shaker, and decorate to your heart’s content. We stitched bells, beads and Stars of David to decorative cord, then glued the whole megillah to the sides. A glittery Star of David topped it off.

2. Fill the martini shaker with your favorite drink fixings.

3. Take your new grogger to Purim services. Every time Haman’s name comes up, shake, shake, shake. L’chaim!

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
