Boilo

Boilo

Boilo is a traditional Yuletide or Holidays drink in the Coal Region of northeastern Pennsylvania.

The traditional Lithuanian name is "Krupnickas." [www.coalregion.com]

Boilo is a type of Grain Alcohol/Moonshine-based liqueur made with oranges, lemons, and various different spices such as cinnamon. In modern day recipes the moonshine is often replaced with a whiskey such as Four Queens. Recipes vary and may include nutmeg, cloves, cranberries, caraway seed and anise seed.

Some believe it to have curing properties for the onset of fall/winter related ailments such as a cold or influenza.
