First: No, This is not referencing Cajunscot No, I don't want to post on the Pub What want: Last week I was sick and several folks told me to drink some Whisky (no problem here). Two reminded me of Hot Toddies, which I had heard of, but never tried. So, I got on the web and searched. I say a few mixes, but little on what else. So, I got my JB (cheapest on hand), molasses (no honey in pantry), tea (sweet tea out of fridge), and OJ (no lemons). In theory, that is a great combo for a cough and all four are recommended. Taste-> actually, that combo was pretty good. AND-> seemed to ease the coughing and sooth the throat better than medicines. So: Have ya'll used them before for coughs? What combos (combinations of ingredients) do ya'll like?

Well, Ethol Alcohol is an expectorant. This will help you get the crud to come out while coughing. I have used Jack Daniel's and a little honey. Don't over do it. Too much of the swill will make you dehydrated. steve
I've called the mix I use Dr T's Miracle Elixer. I use the little dose cup from cough syrup or other liquid medicines. Fill it 1/4 full with honey, 1/2 full with Jack Daniels, then add a splash of lemon juice. Stir it up and shoot it. I've used this mix on myself, my wife, and my son with good results. Works for coughs, sore throats, and general head colds.
Large measure of whisky Teaspoon of honey Splash of Lemon Juice top up with whisky quick blast in the microwave repeat as required Rab
