I've had this discussion with with family, friends and customers, and from what I've learned there's probably no convincing you otherwise. But here's my attempt anyways.
There's is no magical cure for your cold if it can't be treated by medicine. You need rest, time, water, and maybe a short walk for that circulation. Maybe actually anything except a hot lemonade? Don't let Starbucks take your hard earned money for a dumb urban legend.
And just for good measure, a short list of things that would be more help than honey citrus mint lemonade:
A walk, a nap, a glass of water, litterally any other tea without lemonade, a tablespoon of honey, salt water gargle, a cough drop, decongestant, a shot of whiskey and a nap (a personal favorite from my grandma), watching a movie under the blanket, just carry around the whole bag of cough drops, reducing time in public spaces when you're contagious.
