Yes I know there is no "official" recipe for boilo. I feel inspired to make it this year for holiday gifts, something a bit different for family and friends here on the West Coast. I don't know if my tweaked Naughty Merlot will be ready this year so I'm formulating a backup plan. Many years ago an old friend who was in his mid-70s gave me a jar of boilo and it was fantastic! I didn't have a single cold or the flu at all that Winter. When asked about the ingredients, all my friend would tell me with a grin was "You gotta use Four Queens". Understandably, his recipe was a fiercely guarded secret and it went with him when he passed. I remember my friend's boilo was citrusy, spicy (ginger?) and sweet. Would anyone be willing to offer some guidance to replicating this wonderful elixir? Four Queens whiskey, citrus, maybe ginger...am I on the right track?
Thanks in advance.
