Maybe it's an old wives' tale but my parents swear by this. Get a jar, like for canning, and fill it half the way up with whiskey, throw in a handful of peppermint candies and 2 tablespoons of honey. Just drink a little at a time, it will be very thick. My parents both say it works but I can't handle the whiskey. If you can handle it , give it a try.
