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.

Great research Step! When it comes to discussing BOOZE, you’re contributions are always outstanding! Why is that?

Well slap my ass and call me Sally.
I'm a lush, Ziggy and sir,
I am also a gentleman and a scholar,
A horse thief and a lier,
and a judge of good whisky.

BOILO Recipe

Original by Sophie of Shenandoah (May she be in Heaven a half hour before the Devil knew she was dead)


Ingredients


1 qt Ginger Ale

1 cup Honey (about 12-14 oz. by weight)

1 Orange

1 Lemon

3 Cinnamon Sticks

1 tsp. Caraway Seeds

6 Whole Peppercorns (Optional)

(Some add to give potion an extra zing.)


1 fifth Whiskey (at least 100 proof)

(Suggest using "Four Queens".)


Directions


1. Cut Orange and Lemon into wedges (depending upon size, 4 to 6 wedges).


2. Place Ginger Ale, Honey, Orange, Lemon, Cinnamon Sticks, and Caraway Seeds into a 5 Quart Sauce Pan.

Add additional Honey to desired sweetness.


3. Cover and bring to a boil using medium heat. Stir frequently so that it does not boil over.


4. Once mixture begins to boil, remove from heat. Let stand until temperature drops below 160 degrees (F). Use candy thermometer.


5. Once temperature has reduced, add Whiskey. If whiskey is added too early it will evaporate.


6. Return to heat on low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Do not leave temperature rise above 160 degrees (F) or alcohol will evaporate.


7. Remove from heat. Keep covered. After mixture has cooled below 140 degrees (F), strain using cheesecloth or very fine strainer.


8. Place in glass container.


Makes approximately two (2) quarts.




Serving Instructions


Serve at room temperature or gently warmed (do not heat over 120 degrees (F).

To answer a question a while back the reason it is called boilo is because it could boil over and has caused a house fire or two.

Plausibile, I was told by mother-in-law that it is because you boil the base; it is one of the few if not the only one to be made that way.

And to warn makers, a little stirring and a lid slightly ajar is a good thing because it will boil over and what a mess!

Off topic but related. I’ve been getting into Rye Whiskey lately. I’ve been drinking my Manhattan’s and Old Fashion’s with Rye for some time (it’s of course not always the default). I’ve been sipping a bottle of Bulleit Rye neat for a few weeks now, and it’s pretty good. Does anyone have any Rye Whiskey suggestions?

Templeton

 

[diontechristmas]

Yup, and you really just want to bring to a boil and then simmer. Don’t keep the orange/lemon peels in for too long as they can eventually impart a bitterness. I like to simmer for about 45 minutes and then remove the citrus. I keep the spices in the mixture and let the concoction cool for an hour or so. Then strain, add the booze and put in mason jars.

What’s on your Christmas Eve table skooks?

For us it’s fried fish and pierogi and a vegetable. Potato and prune typically but sometimes get the kraut ones as well. Also the blessed wafers with honey and the traditional bitter mushroom soup. The honey and mushroom soup is meant to symbolize the sweet and bitter moments of life as we remember those that are no longer with us.

No meat for Christmas Eve dinner, but I usually break out the kielbasa later in the evening.

Templeton

I've bought a few bottles of the rye whisky in the past. To me, the flavor is nearly exclusive to rye bread and enjoyed sipping. My purchases were back when the bottle label pronounced that it was a "Prohibition Era Recipe".
Manhattan....the city...the drink
note:
"Pursuant to a class action settlement announced in 2015, Templeton added the words "distilled in Indiana" to the label and removed claims of "Prohibition Era Recipe" and "small batch." The settlement also afforded refunds to customers who bought Templeton Rye since 2006.[6] The company is commencing distilling operations in Iowa, with the first product to appear in 2022.[7]"

Yep diontec, same dinner as out family. My grandmother's sauerkraut - mushroom soup would curl your ears on the initial spoons of soup.

Homemade pierogies and Mushroom soup. When my father was still alive he used to go out and forage for the mushrooms. I think the slang term for them was papinkies...(Spelling)
