bumbo (also Bumbo0 or bombo)

Better than Royal Navy Grog! George Washington used 160 gallons of rum to treat 391 voters to bumbo during a 1758 campaign.

Serve neat in a glass, or a carved out pineapple for a fancier time.

Substitute apple cider fer rum t’ make it non-alcoholic. (We realize this just makes it a fancy apple cider, but it be festive nonetheless!)
