Belated Dyngus Day Drinks With Sobieski

Have you been looking for the perfect excuse to finally let that special someone know that you’ve been admiring them for years? April 21st was Dyngus Day! Traditionally, this was a day when the boys would tell the cutest girls in their village that they liked them by throwing water in their faces and tapping them on their legs with pussy willow branches. Don’t worry ladies; you could get your revenge on the boys the next day by throwing plates at them – what could possibly be more romantic? Or weird? These days the festivities that happen in Buffalo, New York involve lots of vodka, merriment, and squirt gun wars, but you just never know when your true love could be waiting around the corner, about to throw a plate at you. Hee hee. I may be a few days late with these recipes, but they are good anytime, not just on Dyngus Day!
