Add a shot of whiskey and you got a hot toddy. Makes everything feel better and helps you sleep good too. ;-)

I was going to say the same thing.
Along the same lines, but more for the cough...
my Portuguese grandmother was the neighborhood "healer" and she would pour a bottle of honey into a small sauce pan, add the juice of one lemon and heat while stirring. To that she would add whisky..until mixture was the consistency of syrup.
Supposedly the honey was soothing, the lemon juice provided Vit C and the whisky dilated blood vessels.
We would add the added instruction...drink enough of it and you really won't be bothered by the cold~! LOL. It does work in moderation of course!
