WHISKEY COUGH CURE



Whiskey Cough Cure image

Here it is... I promised I'd post it. My grandmother's sure-fire mix to fix that tickley cough in the back of your throat or that deep wheezy cough that rattles and hurts. Don't worry about the gettin drunk part; you won't be using that much because this is good. Keep in mind these measurements are VERY approximate. HOWEVER, do keep the ratio's kinda the same.

Time 5m

Yield 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup good strong cheap whiskey
3 peppermint candies (the hard kind)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sugar (this is actually to taste)

Steps:

  • In a small fruit jar, place the whiskey and honey.
  • Crush the peppermints well (this just helps them dissolve) and toss in the jar. If you need it, add the sugar, but if you don't need it, don't add it.
  • Let sit and the peppermints dissolve.
  • When you need it, take a spoonful; tablespoon if it's very bad, teaspoon if it's light. It's alright to give this to children, just make it more diluted with water.

IRISH WHISKEY & HONEY REMEDY

Cold and Flu season are here. As a child, I used to get sick quite a bit and always seemed to get a nasty cough. My grandmother used to prepare this drink for me, it really helped and tasted so good (since I was a child, she didn't add a full shot of whiskey, but she did add some). The drink worked and by the next day, my cough was better. As an adult, I still prepare this drink when I get a cold. It may not cure you completely, but it will make you feel better and soothe your soul too :)
