Why This Is the Best Homemade Cough Syrup Recipe with Bourbon
-
Soothing, Not Harsh: Peppermint helps cool and clear, lemon brightens, honey soothes, and bourbon warms.
-
Super Simple: No cooking required! Just layer, stir, and let time work its magic.
-
Nostalgic and Fun: It’s as much a conversation starter as a remedy.
-
Perfect for Gifting: A small jar (with a “for adults only!” tag) is a thoughtful winter treat.
