I posed this question on our Hoot n Annie Facebook page<\/a> and proceeded to get 112 comments (this included my comments in response to everyone) on what alcohol concoction would cure the common cold. I must say, I was impressed with the range of cocktails that people came up with but it seemed that whiskey was definitely a favorite. Some people were mixing it with other things while some people said to just take it straight. I\u2019m sure all the whiskey companies in the world can now start marketing their booze as \u201cthe cure for the common cold\u201d\u2026I know I would!<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s see what everyone had to say. And if you have a concoction that isn\u2019t listed let me know!<\/p>\n

Lisa Pretty- Gin with lots of lemon<\/p>\n

Tim Spencer- Hot toddy made with Jack Daniels<\/p>\n

Susanne Genovese- Tuaca<\/p>\n

Thea Dwelle- 3 oz. of whiskey poured over 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 4 cloves, juice of \u00bd a lemon, star anise if you have it, fill mug with hot water & stir with cinnamon stick<\/p>\n

Angela Stone- Shot of Tequila with the juice of \u00bd a lemon, some honey, and filled with hot water<\/p>\n

Senor Sanchos restaurant- Cognac<\/p>\n

Sarah Leigh McFall- Hot toddy made with a good single malt, teaspoon of honey, squeeze of lemon juice, and top it off with hot water<\/p>\n

Steven Dooner- Irish Whiskey<\/p>\n

Kim Jones- Whiskey or good Brandy<\/p>\n

Bob Shirey- Jack Daniels straight up before bed<\/p>\n

Natale Koch- Tusin (as in Robutusin, from the Chris Rock comedy skit)<\/p>\n

Mackenzie Britton- Dr. McGillicuddy\u2019s<\/p>\n

Heather Browne Dearborn- Whiskey, honey, and lemon<\/p>\n

Beverly Aselson- Grapefruit seed extract, put 10 drops in your water, juice, coffee, or tea three times per day<\/p>\n

William La Follette- Hot mint tea, no caffeine, lemon honey and Brandy<\/p>\n

Suzanne Kirby-Rousseau- Whiskey, lemon juice, honey, & rock candy<\/p>\n

Tracy Lee- Brandy or Whiskey with lemon and honey<\/p>\n

Denise Barlow- Brent Matsalla says some Rye Whiskey concoction<\/p>\n

Xochitl Maiman- A shot of Scotch, not too smoky, with hot water<\/p>\n

Marianne Vance-Radford- Said her dad use to have them drink the cheap, nasty Port<\/p>\n

Christopher Samih Kiranbay- Benedictine and Brandy<\/p>\n

Hollie Wogan- Whiskey and lemon<\/p>\n

Jon Wells- Said I should combine some of the above suggestions<\/p>\n

Loshel Robinson- Said it depends on what I have: Irish Whiskey for chest symptoms, Bourbon Whiskey for throat and nasal<\/p>\n

Glenn Mitton- Old British remedy\u2026Port & Brandy<\/p>\n

William Gibson- Good Brandy, honey, lemon, & hot water. Does not do a thing for your cold \u2013 but you won\u2019t care<\/p>\n

Eileen McDonnell Gross- Single Malt Scotch, sniff it before you sip<\/p>\n

Holly Holliday- Whiskey<\/p>\n

Theodore Pruett- Jack Daniels, lemon, honey, & lemon zinger tea<\/p>\n

Erin O\u2019Mahoney McLaughlin- Black berry brandy<\/p>\n

Paso Robles Cab Collective- 2 shots of Vodka with a squeeze of lemon or lime<\/p>\n

Lowell John Zelinski- Since I drink so much Whiskey I don\u2019t know \u2013 never had a cold.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, some incredible advice. It was a fun conversation and if you actually go back and read through the thread<\/a> it was quite entertaining too. Any additions that you would make to this list?? Cheers to avoiding the cold and flu peeps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
