I don't drink alcoholic beverages, so I wont be testing it, but my old neighbor at the ranch is a 85 year old Mexican woman. She makes a syrup out of the juice from "tuna." Tuna is the fruit of prickly pear cactus. I kid you not, look it up. She places a table spoon of the prickly pear syrup and a table spoon of honey into some Tequila and drinks it at night before bedtime. I don't know if it works for all people, but she takes care of 40 or so goats, a couple of dozen free range chickens, a large garden, and keeps up about 40 acres by herself. We should all be so fortunate.
