The Beverage Wizard of Levinsky: Tel Aviv Gazoz Workshop with Benny Soda
Strolling through the Levinsky Market, Tel Aviv’s locally beloved outdoor food Mecca, one can come across what Saveur magazine voted as one the the top food destinations in the world. Over the last five years the neighborhood — consisting of one main pedestrian street, Levinsky, and an artery of nondescript side streets — has come to fruition as a truly culinary hotspot where generations-old Turkish delis, Greek confectionaries, Moroccan and Persian home food spots and spice shops coverage with trendy coffee shops, bars and restaurants and an overall hip and vibrant vibe. Frills are not the drawing point of this market, but the authenticity, innovation both old and contemporary, and amalgamation of gastronomic pleasures that can be shared by all.
And nestled in this compact culinary hotspot is an artisan and culinary mastermind who is pioneering a new iteration of a classic Israeli beverage that the world has yet to see. Until now.
Benny “Soda” Briga is a culinary mastermind, an artist if you may say, who has originated a new iteration of the bubbly, fruity carbonated beverage called Gazoz. Originating in Turkey with an Italian iteration, the Israeli adaption is an organic, sparkling beverage created on the stop with fruit syrups (plums, berries, peaches), fermentations (kombucha, kefir), beautiful herbs (rosemary, sage, mint, lemongrass), and edible flowers, for a drink that is healthy, refreshing and utterly aesthetic.
Eager Tourist takes you into the heart and mind of Benny’s delectable beverages with an exclusive Gazoz workshop where you will learn to whip up your very own gazoz, plan ,learn about the fermentation process, discuss health benefits of sustainable agriculture, and have an overall fun, inspiring and tasty experience suitable for locals and travelers alike. Crossing borders, Benny has just released his very own “Gazoz” book that will be distributed by Artisan Books, available online and in bookstores across America. Guests will also gain access to Benny’s private laboratory where fermentation and the creation of artisanal liquors takes place behind the scenes, and be guided and led by the vivacious Benny himself.
