(handed down to me by Morgana King who got it from him who got it from Billie Holiday who got it from Lewis Armstrong)


  • 10 Mentho-Lyptus Cough Drops

  • ½ cup honey

  • ¼ cup brandy*

  • ¾ cup water


  • Bring the water to a boil and put the cough drops in, reduce to simmer, stir until the drops are dissolved, then add the honey and continue to simmer until it is a syrup.

  • In an empty glass jar with a screw top, add the brandy, then pour in the water, brandy, cough drop syrup.

  • Screw on the top and give it several shakes until the mixture has melded together.

  • Sip a little at a time throughout your show in the glass or cup of your choice

  • (*Bourbon can be substituted for the brandy, or if you’re ‘on the wagon’ just double the honey and add a squeeze of lemon)
