Rumtopf is one of the best holiday treats; I was surprised at how good it is, and how STRONG.
Spring is coming around; that's the time to start another crock of rumtopf; does any freeper have a special recipe?
I'm starting HERE!

I am in.....
RIMMER: Is something Amish?
LISTER: (Slight quaver in him voice) Amish? God no, what could possibly be amiss?
RIMMER: You don’t think there’s anything Amish? I’m sitting here wearing a red and white checked gingham dress and army boots and you think that’s un-Amish?
CAT: No, of course not. It’s just that we thought you had gone nuts! We were tryin’ to humour you.
RIMMER: I was just doing a little test — a little test to see if you had gone crazy.
He abruptly tenses and lets out a horrible yell.
RIMMER: CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! If there is one thing I can’t stand it’s crazy people.
LISTER: Well we’ve passed the test, Rimmer. You can let us out.
RIMMER: I can’t let you out.
LISTER: Why not?
RIMMER: Because the King of the Potato People won’t let me. I begged him. I got down on my knees and wept. He wants to keep you here. Keep you here for ten years.
CAT: Could we see him?
RIMMER: See who?
CAT: The King.
RIMMER: Do you have a magic carpet?
LISTER: Yeah, a little three-seater.
RIMMER: So, let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People and plead with him for your freedom, and you’re telling me you are completely sane?! I think that warrants 2 hours of W.O.O.
LISTER: What’s W.O.O?
CAT: You had to ask.
RIMMER: With ... out ... oxygen. No oxygen for 2 hours. That will teach you to be bread baskets.
He disappears.
LISTER: What do we do?
CAT: I think our only hope’s the Potato King.
Never heard of it before but it sounds tasty!
So a Communist, a Muslim and an illegal alien stroll into a bar, and the bartender says, “Can I get you a Rumtopf, Mr. President?”
Joe Biden walks into a bar...and winds up in the hospital with a concussion. But while he’s waiting for the ambulance, the bartender says “Oh, I think you’ve had enough Rumtopf, Mr. Vice President.”
(1)Empty Galliano style bottle(10 Cinnamon sticks
(10) Prunes
(1) medium box of raisins
(6) Whole Cloves
(1)Anise Star
(2) Cups of fresh Coca leaves from Columbia.
Let the whole brew steep for at least a week before enjoying straight, in coca cola, or with egg nog.
The coca leaves can be quietly found in most major US cities in the ethnic produce stores.
When consuming the “blackdog” recipe there is required listening -

It is surprisingly good - - and worth all the work.
Putting some over ice cream is just dandy.
You put the lime in the coconut you drink it all up....
It looks like my fruitcake recipe except you drink it.
You all would love my fruitcake soaked in rum.

Now that’s a joke I get immediately. That’s how many of us see him.
Is the recipe a secret?
(10) Prunes...When I’m constipated I drink prune juice and vodka..I call them pile drivers. After three I don’t give a shit.
