Spiritual Spirits
KosherBlog reader Heather asks what hard liquors are available for Passover. All acceptable alcohols are from the non-grain category (no whiskey!). Here’s a list of the Pesach spirits I could find:
* Arack (Carmel)
* Brandies (Carmel, Givon, Slivovitz, Rodrigues)
* Cognac (R&B Lanxner, Montaigne)
* Gin (Seagram)
* Grappa (Carmel)
* Liqueurs (Bartenura amaretto, hazelnut, etrog, lemon, apricot, lime, mandarin, peach; Sabra chocolate-orange)
* Vodka (Kedem, Carmel, Seagram)
* Vermouth (Kedem)
For more detail, the Orthodox Union’s list of K-F-P liquors is available in the T-Z section of their annual Passover guide, under “Wines & Liquors”.
KosherWine.com and QueenAnneWine.com both offer several of these products. KosherWine.com indicates on every product they sell whether it is Kosher for Passover. (It would be great if either of them could offer searches based solely on Pesach Kashrut!)
