CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Happy Hanukkah, Chicago! We have something special to help you celebrate the Festival of Lights.
This week's Cocktail of the Week is a Gelt Martini, has been brought to us by our friends at 8 Crazy Nights/Graystone Tavern. It was created by the owner Sam Stone to be featured on the 8 Crazy Nights Hanukkah pop-up bar speciality menu.
"To help get customers in the holiday spirit, we created a number festive cocktails with traditional Hanukkah flavors for our pop-up bar. The Gelt Martini puts an adult spin on the nostalgic tradition of children receiving gelt during Hanukkah," Stone said.
8 Crazy Nights' Gelt Martini recipe calls for Dorda Double Chocolate, 28 Mile Vodka, Tippy Cow Chocolate Shake, chocolate syrup, and gold sugar or powdered sugar for a rim garnish.
