Does A Hot Toddy Help To Beat A Cold?

It’s not often you can find a cocktail that’s rumoured to be beneficial for your health (well… ish). Whisky, lemon and honey have been used for centuries as a natural healing method when it comes to the common cold. A hot toddy cocktail can help to clear your sinuses and support your mucus membranes to beat the virus quicker, all whilst keeping you hydrated! Of course, as this cocktail includes alcohol, it should be consumed in moderation.
