I was at a recent gathering of friends and one guy had a bottle of homemade spiced honey liquor called Viryta. It was delicious! It is popular with Lithuanians in the Baltimore area. In researching it I found out there is a version called Boilo that apparently originates in the Schuylkill County area of PA. Anyone familiar with it and have a recipe to share?

I think there was a topic on boilo a few years ago. A Google search should find a couple recipes, that's where I got mine.

Try some Drambuie some time
Available at the liquor store, a little pricey.

Coalkirk, I saw a recipe for viryta on line. The biggest difference I noticed is the alcohol content in the online recipe for viryta was much higher than most people's boilo recipe.

The great Roman empire was too scared to invade where whiskey was invented.
