Family cold remedies.

Whiskey and ginger wine for the throat.

My mum’s remedy for both throat and chest was hot lemon with honey and cider vinegar - horrible but certainly helped.

My mom gave me whiskey, honey, and lemon juice once when I was a kid. I remember that the taste was okay at first but that the aftertaste was horrible. I drank most of it in one gulp to avoid more aftertaste.

I've never heard of ginger wine. We have ginger ale over here, but ginger ale isn't alcoholic.
