Join us for a panel conversation and live demonstration featuring industry experts, mixologists, and tastemakers on the past, present, and future of carbonated Jewish beverages.

Sparkling drinks have long held a place of honor in Jewish traditions from the synagogue basement to the deli, to the family dinner table, and beyond. Here in New York, many Jews wear their love of seltzer as a badge of honor and identity, following in the footsteps of our ancestors who brought their passion for fizz from the old country.

This panel demonstration will explore the history and the future of bubbly drinks within Jewish culture, with a special focus on contemporary and innovative sparkling beverages. 

Don’t miss our panel of pros as they experiment with flavor, giving you a sip of the future. The panel and demonstration will be followed by a Q&A and tasting session. Jewish drink creators include Ari Miller, Michael Harlan Turkell, and Jeffrey Yoskowitz.

This panel is presented as part of The Brooklyn SeltzerFest. Brooklyn SeltzerFest 2025 celebrates all things related to non-alcoholic seltzer water and related effervescent topics. The event is filled with vendors, activities, live music, dynamic presenters, and exciting competitions, and is produced by The Brooklyn Seltzer Museum, a new non-profit cultural institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the effervescent history of seltzer water. Located within the oldest seltzer works in New York City, the Museum celebrates the manufacturing of seltzer, the science of seltzer, and seltzer as a cultural force in New York City and the world beyond.

SeltzerFest will run from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM on Sunday, March 16.
