Here is a good remedy for that tickly cough at the back of your throat that hurts.

¼ cup strong cheap whiskey, 3 peppermint hard candies, 2 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoon sugar (just for taste)

Place the whiskey and honey in a small jar.

Crush peppermint candies well till they dissolve and shake the jar.

Add the sugar only if you need it for the taste. If you don't need it, don't add it.

Let it sit for sometime and till the peppermints dissolve.

Whenever you feel that tickly sensation at the back of your throat, just take a teaspoon or even a tablespoon if it is very bad. You can also give this to children, but dilute it with more water.
