Why bother feeding your cold when you can drink your way to clear nasal passages instead? By using curative ingredients such as honey, echinacea, chili and bitters, a good cocktail may be just as effective as commercially produced cold remedies in subduing the bothersome symptoms of acute coryza (the common cold).

Bon Appétit Magazine has a few cocktail recipes that will certainly take the edge off of any rhinovirus that dares come your way. Just don’t overdo it, else you’ll be feeling worse than when you started.
