Submitted by Jason Winter

A variation on the "Bartenders Trick" is to soak a wedge of lemon in Angustura bitters, sprinkle with some sugar, then eat the pulp in one good bite, chew and swallow.

Had the hicups for 6 hours. Tried the bitters and trick and it worked instantly. Burns the tummy a little, but worth it.
