In honor of the upcoming Hannukah holiday, the Latke Sour is taking over bars and restaurants.

The drink uses simple syrup, grated potato and egg whites and barrel-aged bitters to replicate the Jewish potato pancake.

The bartender at The Maccabee Bar in Boston says, “You can’t deep-fry a cocktail, so [the final addition of bitters] gives you that aromatic, cooked sensation.”

Edible glitter on the rim also adds to the festivity.

Would you drink a Latke Sour? What was the weirdest cocktail you ever had?
