Rock and rye is traditionally used as a home remedy for congestion due to its warming properties. The combination of whiskey, rock candy, and citrus in rock and rye can help soothe a sore throat, thin mucus, and provide relief from congestion. Consuming a warm toddy made with rock and rye may help to alleviate symptoms of congestion.

At our bar "Rye" in San Francisco, we keep a decanter of our own Rock and Rye behind the bar. It is made with various Rye whiskeys, Horehound Rock Candy, Dried Lemon peel, Cassia bark, Clove, Dried Horehound, and a couple of other secret ingredients.

We serve it as a Rock and Rye Toddy which i two oz. of rock and rye with 2 oz. boiling water, with a fresh lemon peel. The mixture is like a whiskey TheraFlu. Tastes great, and the horehound is an herbal remedy for whooping cough. we also serve it as a base for a Manhattan recipe which is quite good too.

Rock and Rye is an infusion of citrus fruits and sweetened rye whiskey. Probably started out in saloons and taverns where some of the cut fruits at the end of the day were thrown into a jar of whiskey rather than discarded. Add a little lump sugar, rock candy, or rock candy syrup, and "Rock and Rye" was born. In the North East where American Rye whiskey has its deepest historical roots, it made a great hot drink during cold wet winters. It became popular enough that certain blends were bottled under proprietary names, two of which still exist: Jacquin's, and Mr' Boston's. Supposedly, Southern Comfort hails from the rock and rye tradition, though it is most likely bourbon based.
