OT: Fire up your Four Queens, fellas. It's Boilo time. Article link:
- Thread starter LealandLoyal
- Start date
Why? Why? Why? Here I thought we would finally actually make it thru the season without the Boilo thread. And yet here it is, back to haunt me like Ebonezer Scrooge’s ghosts. Thank a lot. NOT!!
I’ve thought about this for the last several years when reading about Boilo here. Can a guy from the flatland of northwest Ohio make Boilo?

'Tis the first of many to come. If it's not your thing, feel free to jump in on the mimosa thread.
The PA Wine and Spirits stores are having a $1.00 off sale of Four Queens so you can pick yours up for $8.99 a bottle. I'm going to grab two bottles tomorrow.
Here's a link so you can find a store near you that has stock.

Or, when you see something in the thread title you don’t care about, the poster could do something really really fascinating!!
Not open the thread.
Amazes me that people complain about a thread topic AFTER opening the thread.

1 bottle Four Queens whiskey
Several oranges. Quantity depends on how much you wish to make. Use at least 4.
Same number of lemons
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups of honey
2 cinnamon sticks
Boilo (Lithuanian krupnikas) is traditionally made during the Christmas and New Year's holiday. It's great on those cold winter nights. Beware, this can knock you for a loop! Cheers!
Peel the oranges and lemons and cut into quarters. Squeeze the fruit into a pot, then throw in the remaining fruit pulp. Add some water (some people use ginger ale). Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the whiskey. Cook everything at a slow simmer, stirring constantly. This will take about 15-20 minutes. If necessary, add orange juice and a bit more water. The color should be a yellow-orange. Don't overcook; the name is misleading. You don't want to boil this. Then slowly stir in the whiskey. Be careful - this can catch fire if splashed on the stove. Keep adding whiskey to taste. It's not uncommon to use the whole bottle. Simmer for just a few more minutes once the whiskey is added.Strain and serve hot in shot glasses (a regular glass may crack). Drink in sips. Everyone's recipe uses pretty much the same ingredients, but the quantities on each vary greatly. You'll have to experiment to find what suits your taste. Serve healthy-sized portion to the wife or girlfriend for best results.

Not my thing? Are you new here? Have you never seen these boilo threads before? It’s retread year after year after year. I guess without an OC to bash we will have boilo instrad.
