life saving rum toddies

[Ken Gargett]

given that i have spent the day wrapped up in bed with a shocker flu (and i am not a good patient), when i finally emerged, i thought i had better try and do something to kill the bug and revive myself. so it was into the rum toddies.

thought that perhaps there might be members out there with their favourite recipe. i'm open to anything but i'll tell you the best i have yet concocted - i'm just as sick but a lot happier.

blob of honey and about a solid teaspoon of sugar in bottom of glass. pour on boiling water - about 2/3rds of a mug full. then a good slug of inner circle black spot rum (the serious one - 75%. well i wasn't going to waste my really good stuff in boiling water and if 75% doesn't kill the bugs then it is white flag time). top it off with some cinnamon and nutmeg (and the killer ingredient...) a few splashes of cajun tabasco.

any better suggestions?

I do not know much about Rum or medicine, but that sounds like a serious chemistry experiment you have there. Hope it works and remember, if at first you do not succeed try and try again. I figure if you drink enough of them you will probably wake up (after passing out for a couple of days) and feel fine.

One shot of your best rum 3 times a day...or is it 3 shots of rum 3 times a day :-P

When I'm felling bad I like to make some hot tea, mix in some honey and Grand Marnier.

This one always works.

1. Take a half lemon and some fresh mint.

2. two teaspoons of sugar in the bottom of a water glass.

3. One egg into the water glass.

4. Mix egg and sugar for a minute.

5. 150ml of good red wine

6. Mix red wine and egg/sugar mixture + 1/2 disolvable aspirin

7. Throw lemon and mint in the bin.

8. Drink the concoction.

For the first day, take one every hour for the first 6 hours and then ease off to every 2 hours. You will notice that you will sleep like a baby that evening and well into the next day. When you awake....you will be almost back to normal.

In a double shot glass, pour in some honey, lime, and top off with Bacardi 151. Shoot it down. Repeat as necessary until you start feeling well again:-)

Ken...How are you feeling?

Did the red wine, egg, sugar and Asprin concoction work?

This always works for me when feeling wough.

1 Get into bed.

2 Scupper 1 bottle of Bundaburg as quick as christ will let you.

3 If you are still capable of holding a bottle to your lips, scupper another.

4 Wake up next day & if still feeling rough, repeat steps 2 & 3.
