Are you referring to like a hot toddy ? I think it's like hot water, whiskey, honey mixed together, for bad chest congestion. Some people even give it to kids. My mother gave it to me when I was a young teen ---for bronchitis. She called it a Whiskey Sling. She made hot tea, then put whiskey and honey in it. It'll either kill ya or cure ya. It wouldn't have been too bad, if I liked whiskey , but I hate the taste of it. If she had put rum in it, it might have made me feel better. I think she did it out of desperation. It can bring down a fever too.

I'd like to hear some of your other comments about a hot toddy, b/c I'm not sure if I explained it right. Has anyone ever heard of a Whiskey Sling, or was that just a Sheboygan, Wisconsin invention ?
