Boilo is a traditional Yuletide or Holidays drink in the Coal Region of northeastern Pennsylvania.
The traditional Lithuanian name is "Krupnickas."[1]
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.
