  Yum!! 

Get Well Soon Drink  or, I forgot all about being sick...

Cure for the Common Cold: Okay, you got me - it's a Drink! hahaha! 

I would try this with any cold or flu... anytime I was sick, or perhaps any evening... :) !!

I think the secret is The Bitters... or maybe the combo of it all?? 

Oh, and you can buy Bitters in your grocery store in the States, over in the alcohol section, where the mixers live... hahaha! (People who are buying all that alcohol, and the mixes to put in their drinks - lol!) 


And you can buy Bitters at the Liquor Store in Canada, since, God Forbid they make it easier to buy alcohol, or make it reasonably affordable, in Canada. 

And, really, is sort of my version of a Hot Toddy, but quite a bit more fun : ) 

Ingredients: 

1 oz. Bourbon -- I didn't have Bourbon in my vast 1970's Bar (there it is, again, with the 70's references!), so I used Whiskey, instead... Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskey...

8 dashes of Bitters (really, I lost count...! haha!) -- the Bitters has 47% alcohol! WooHoo! You're feelin' better, already! lol!

Honey to taste -- about a tablespoon or two...really, I just pour it in.. : >

Club Soda -- again, me no have no Club Sody, so I used 7Up, instead... and now I like Sierra Mist

And then I accidentally added in some 45 Proof Spiced Rum... and see, me all better, today!! Taa Daa!! (Picture me in a Gymnast Pose, right after not falling offa da horse thing! haha!)

Initially, stupidly, I made my fancy new Cold Remedy in a glass, but then, quel suprise, the honey wouldn't stir in -- I am far too used to throwing ice in a glass and addin' in da Fun! So, best to make thins in a microwavable cup... see how much you learn, today?? haha! I heated it for about 50 seconds... you want it to be like the temperature of tea or coffee... and then I liked it better with a 'Tea Chaser'... a little too strong to be fun to drink, but it really did work! (Plus, I am a Tea Jenny, so really, I have Tea with everything...!)

Maybe toss in some Cranberries (not the group - bah'ahahaha!), if you like - yum! 

Same Recipe, with a Twist.... 

And here's my modification to my favorite drink... errrr, I mean, CURE for a horrible cold, or slightly scratchy sore throat, or some time in the evening, any night at all.. ;) lol!

(New -- now I am all out of Whiskey and Bourbon, so tonight I tried the Hennessy, and it was deeelicious... hope it still works! haha!) (Who cares?? Now it's just a great drink!)

8 dashes of Bitters (really, I lost count...! haha!) -- the Bitters has 47% alcohol! WooHoo! You're feelin' better, already! lol!

(Who knows how many dashes of Bitters I'm putting in, now -- I feel like the Bitters are the magical ingredient... I'm pourin' the stuff in! hahaha!)

Honey to taste -- about a teaspoon or two...

(2 teaspoons of honey... must remember to Buy More Honey!)

Club Soda -- again, me no have no Club Soda, so I used 7 Up, instead...

(Yes, I used the 7 Up until that was all gone, and now I see that any lemony fizzy pop/soda will do...! )

And then I accidentally added in some 45 Proof Spiced Rum... and see, me all better, today!! Taa Daa!! (Picture me in a Gymnast Pose, right after not falling offa da horse thing! haha!)

(Turns out, this particular Spiced Rum -- Sailor Jerry -- is 92 Proof... sooo, I think we can all see how this quickly became my new favorite Drink -- I mean, CURE!! hahaha!)

(Okay, this works waaay better: Mix all da alcohol together ( I forget and put in the honey, first), but be as smart as you wanna be with the whole Big Decision on when you put the honey in... but heat this tiny amount in your mug for 25 seconds in the microwave, and then take it out and pour in the 7Up or other lemony fizzy drink... deeelicious, and I have a feeling da bubbles do something special, which reminds me of an old joke about blowing Bubbles in the park, but I shouldn't talk about Bubbles without his permission... hahahaha!)

Otay, dat jus' make'a me laugh, soo, I thought you might laugh, too - lol! 

Okay, hope you're 'feeling better', now! Hugs! (As soon as you're better - let's be real, here - hahaha!)   Ailsa : )
