Soothes the throat, and numbs the brain!

Not a cure, but you don't give a damn how sick you are after a "dose" or two....

Forget waiting for candy to melt:

50% Wild Turkey
50% Honey

Shaken or stirred. Take as required.

Heat it a good sipping temperature for a nice hot toddy.

My family Dr. says recipes like this are the best for warming up the chest and suppressing a cough at the same time (honey or heavy dissolved sugars coat the throat and cover up the itchy-scratchies, and the citrus helps kill any bugs.)

Hope these drinks help you get over your cruddies.

You need to add a few crushed Mamou Beans.

Otherwise, the recipe is the almost the same one that my great-grandmother used. Hers used a half-pint of bourbon, a few bits of pepper mint, etc., and several crushed Mamou Beans. Of course, Grand-dad had to be the one to take a swig out of the bottle to make room for the active ingredients.

Rotten job, but somebody's gotta do it...

Seems legit.
Should work well with a couple of aspirins and a hot shower, followed by a Power Nap.

Hope you're feeling better, Angel.
