Purim is a happy holiday that affirms Jewish survival and continuity throughout history. This frozen drink, named for the place where the Purim story occurs, is pure decadence. L’chaim! 

Ingredients:
½ oz. Baileys
½ oz. Kahlua
½ oz. vodka
2 oz. half & half cream
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup ice, crushed
1 oz. chocolate syrup
Directions:
  1. Place the Baileys, Kahlua, vodka, cream, ice cream, and ice in a blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Drizzle 1 oz. of chocolate syrup around the inside of a hurricane glass.
  4. Immediately pour the mixture into the glass to freeze the drizzled chocolate syrup on the sides of the glass.
