For a religion of reputed non-drinkers, we seem to have plenty of alcohol-connected festivals. The weekly kiddush is made with wine or whisky and we celebrate the Torah’s birthday with a belly full of booze. (Drunk responsibly, of course.)

Purim does little to buck the trend. In a couple of days we’ll be marking Mordechai and his niece, Esther outwitting the evil Haman (booooo!) with fancy dress, a rainbow of hamantaschen and multi-coloured cocktails.

Here are a few recipes to whet your appetite:
