Science says that drinking in moderation—as in two cocktails a day—can boost the body’s immune system. 

But if you catch the dreaded influenza virus anyway this flu season (January and February are peak months), this tasty whiskey cocktail can make being sick it a little more tolerable. 

The Kitchn originally posted a recipe for “Bourbon Cough Syrup for Grownups” that contains vitamin C-rich lemon juice, honey—a natural cough suppressant and decongestant—and, in a stroke of absolute genius, two shots of bourbon.

The author notes that the honey does most of the heavy lifting, but the pain-relieving properties of whiskey certainly won’t make you feel any worse. 

Just be sure to stick to one of these cocktails per day and drink plenty of other fluids, as too much alcohol will dehydrate the body and lengthen the flu’s duration. 

With mixing instructions from The Kitchn, here’s the recipe: 

Bourbon Cough Syrup for Grownups

• 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 ounces)
• 2-4 ounces water (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey

Mix the bourbon, lemon juice, and water (if using) in a tumbler or mug and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds. (You can also do this on the stovetop in a little saucepan.) Take out and add the honey. Whisk to combine, then microwave for another 45 seconds.

For every sexy snap shared by Instagram’s multitude of stunning models, there’s a post that didn’t quite work out. 

But instead of deleting her epic fail of a bikini shower video, Charly Jordan proudly uploaded the clip that went hilariously awry. 

As Jordan closed her eyes and leaned into a gentle stream of warm water, the shower head fell from its mount and plunked her square in the forehead. 

“When you get hit with that ‘k’ reply…” she cheekily captioned the clip. Over 250,000 likes make it one of her most popular recent posts. 

“That’s gonna leave a mark!!” one user wrote. 

“Boom, headshot!’ said another. 

A third expressed sympathy, saying, “I watched this over so many times, and laughed so hard but I also feel the pain… I hope your head is okay.”

Hey, it’s hard out there for an Instagram model. Check out some of Jordan’s more successful poses below:
