Mon Dec 04 15:32:02 -0800 2006 2068091 22463 HenryT 2 2068111 ....add a pinch of cayenne, and 2 slices of ginger and you've got Aunt Reba's cold remmedy. It IS good for anytime--next to the fire in a bitter cold night or day. Really savory and satisfying. Mon Dec 04 15:36:32 -0800 2006 2068094 11234 toodie jane 3 2068259 GOOOO, Aunt Reba!

Proportions are, of course, to one's taste -- but somehow the Meyer's really makes it. (No, I don't work for them, but I've tried other rums and they don't give it the depth of flavor I like.) Especially if you're coming down with a cold, take two (rather large and strong) ones of these and go to bed. I always feel much better in the morning.
