"WinterColds" news and stories

I've long fantasized about stirring up a throat and soul warming Theraflutini -- an ersatz cold medicine and bourbon toddy that thus far exists only in my (hack, hack, sniffle...) imagination. Turns out, I'm not the only one. Our sister blog Lemondrop has gathered up a medicine bag full of bars serving cocktails that are good for what ails you, plus recipes for a few you can administer at home.

For instance:

"C-creature: In Walnut Creek, Calif., the Spoontonic Lounge makes Emergen-C cocktails by request. The C-creature is a combination of Absolute Mandarin, a packet of Emergen-C (citrus flavor), soda water, fresh orange wedge and a splash of OJ. Add a shot of vodka to the Emergen-C and you've got yourself a B-12 Bomber."

In my mind, the Theraflutini is served with a crushed St. Joseph's baby aspirin rim. Anyone else entertain such multitasking cocktail notions? Share in the comments, why don'tcha?
