Boilo is a traditional Yuletide or Holidays drink of the Northeastern United States, specifically Northeastern and East Central 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.
