If you’re already stocked with kosher wine, you may want to think about some other beverages. Kosher vodka is a good alternative if you’re in the mood for something a bit stronger. Vodka is a clean, neutral alcohol, usually triple distilled or more to remove impurities. It is especially before a meal to further appetite and is nice as the weather warms. Vodka is great if you want to practice mixing drinks, like martinis or vodka tonics.

Desert liquers are also a nice alternative to kosher wines. These are delicious straight after dinner, often help digestion and are good for impressing guests. A fruit flavored digestif like Limoncello is an excellent palate cleanser, is much lighter and less caloric than a glass of kosher wine, and is still kosher for Passover.

Or if you favor something a little stronger to sip on after dinner, scotch and cognac are excellent choices. Scotch is made from barley and flavored with peat moss to give it its characteristic smoky flavor. Cognac is distilled from grapes, like kosher wine, but is distilled twice in copper pots and then aged in French oak barrels.

It is nice to have a drink selection both for yourself and your guests. Discussing love and life over an after dinner drink is a pleasure and a luxury.
