Easter Monday is one of the biggest holiday traditions of the year in the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The signature trademark of “schmigrust” is the whipping custom of women and girls in exchange for colored eggs, ribbons, and shots of Slivovitz. Men braid the whips from willow branches and decorate them with ribbons. In Slovakia, the custom takes a different flavor of pouring cold water on women.
Come celebrate “schmigrust” with Moravian Sons Distillery and their spirits during our regular tastings at your favorite liquor store in Michigan.
