I like this one.
1 Ounce Spiced Rum
1 Teaspoon Butter
3 Ounces boiling water.
1 Teaspoon sugar.
Mix these ingredients together and as soon as the butter melts, Drink it up.
It'll warm the cockels of your heart.

Hot Toddie is made with booze and lemon juice and some other things I can't remember. Older people, my grandfathers age, used to drink that when they had a cold and go to bed and "sweat out" the cold. We take things like Tylenol today I guess.
If you google alcoholic drinks, maybe it would come up, or home made cold remedies too.

It was always known as Hot Toddy when I was a girl. Scotch whisky, hot water and lemon juice. It's the only cold remedy I ever use. It's just a symptom reliever, makes you feel better, soothes your throat and the heat opens up all your tubes:)

It's great for a sore throat. It contains lemon juice, hot water, and whiskey (hence, why you need to be 21 to purchase the whiskey in the US). It's basically what people used for a cold medicine before mainstream things, like Robitussin, hit shelves.
