Waffles came to Sweden near the early 1600s and quickly spread to nearby lands. They were often eaten with jams and fruits, establishing themselves as a beloved treat to be eaten at all times of the day. The day itself is the result of a mispronunciation that brought two holidays together. In Sweden, Waffle Day is known as Våffeldagen, which sounded a lot like Vårfrudagen a day that celebrated the Virgin Mary's conception. Because of this lingual connection, it became customary for Swedish families to celebrate Vårfrudagen by eating waffles on Our Lady Day--which is March 25. In 1839, the Belgian waffle was created much thicker than regular waffles and with deeper grids so they hold more butter and syrup!

Many people believe that cocktails originated in the U.S. While this is partly true, cocktails were actually inspired by British punches from the 18th century. British punches were big bowls of spirits mixed with fruit juice, spice, and other flavors. Cocktails became especially popular after alcohol was prohibited in the United States from 1920 to 1933 ironically....hence the advent of the speakeasy. You can find mixology classes too...you will learn more about how and why ingredients are combined the way they are.
