Cough Remedy

One time when we were camping, we all got sick. I'm not sure if that is when Daddy invented this cough syrup, but it sure helped. The version I remember was bourbon, honey, and orange juice, warmed over the camp fire, and sipped from a tin cup.

I would not use sugar in this recipe—honey is better to soothe the throat.

• 1 tablespoon gin, vodka, or bourbon
• 1 tablespoon sugar (white or brown) or honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon or orange juice

Mix well. 1 teaspoon when needed.
