Instructions:
As a group, decide on the drink of choice. Everyone gets their own shot, beer, glass of wine, etc. and an empty cup is placed in the center of the table.
- If the dreidel lands on nun (נ), everyone but the spinner must take a sip of their personal drink.
- If the dreidel lands on hay (ה), the spinner must chug half of the center cup and gets to choose which player must finish the rest.
- If the dreidel lands on shin (ש), the spinner must pour half of his/her personal drink into the center cup and the other half into another player’s cup of his/her choosing.
- If the dreidel lands on gimmel (ג), the spinner must chug the contents of the center cup.
#SpoonTip: Make sure to pick your poison wisely or else you’re all sure to wake up with a major Hanukkah hangover.
