At a Jewish deli, you’re more likely to get loaded on pastrami and knishes than tequila shots. Though Mamaleh’s Delicatessen is equipped with a full bar, co-owner and beverage director Evan Harrison focuses on light, crisp refreshers that go well with a fatty Reuben or a rich brisket sandwich. The Punim Cup is a twist on the forever crushable Pimm’s Cup, featuring Pimm’s No. 1, lemon juice and a housemade celery soda that nods to Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray, a Jewish deli staple. “We really wanted something vegetal and easygoing,” says Harrison. “We’re suited for lunch and day drinking, so you don’t want everything to be strong and stirred.”
