OT: Boilo, it’s never too early

[manatree]

I figgerd that it’s never too early to start talking about Boilo, a.k.a. The Champagne of da Skook.

Boilo: a popular homemade Yuletide beverage. Ingredients include orange and lemon juice, honey, cloves, caraway seeds, and large amounts of whiskey. Served hot in shot glasses. Many families have their own particular recipes. Making boilo was a leading cause of fires in the region, since the whiskey is added while the mixture cooks on the stovetop. If any of it splashes on the stove, look out!

The original Lithuanian name for boilo is "Krupnickas".

"C'mon over da house after Midnight Mass and have some boilo!"

Four Queens -- it's a whiskey brand owned by New Jersey-based Laird and Company, which has been around since Prohibition. A spokesperson with the company tells Newswatch 16, more than 30 percent of Four Queens sales come from Schuylkill County, and during the holidays, that figure bumps up to about 43 percent.
