Dusky Exodus

This cocktail, Dusky Exodus, brings a unique twist to the traditionally sweet Manischewitz wine by blending it with Old Pogue bourbon and a splash of lemon juice, topped off with fizzy club soda. A chunky, slightly chewy rim of crushed matzo, sweetened with confectioner's sugar, adds a festive touch to the drink. Despite the Manischewitz's inherent sweetness, the Dusky Exodus remains balanced and perfect for celebrating any occasion.
