What's the best thing to drink for a dry mouth and throat?

I thought it would be water, but water barely does anything. What's the best thing to drink when you have a bad case of dry mouth and throat?

Update:

I'm not thirsty, I just get a really dry mouth every now and then and when I drink stuff it stops being dry for like, a minute then it gets dry all over again.

    Seems like when your mouth is so dry it might be due to dehydration. Maybe you aren't drinking enough liquid, period. Anything that isn't alcohol counts, you should try for 1/2 oz/pound/day.

    If that doesn't seem to be the answer, I would check with a doctor. There are chronic conditions that can cause dry mouth-better safe than sorry.

    Half a freshly squeezed lemon or lime in ice cold water may do the trick. You don't need to add any sugar.

    If you like liquorice, this may help you as well. Go to your corner shop, and buy the black, longer, larger pieces, (as opposed to the skinny ones.) Almost freeze a glass of water with the liquorice stick in it, and when you feel dry, take some sips. It's almost guaranteed to stop dry mouth, and it tastes' good too.

    tea usually does the trick but ugh its too hot for that!

    anyways take like three spoons of honey and put it in a cup and warm it in the microwave for like 20 sec and drink it. i usually drink that when i have a sore throat, but the honey also coats your mouth as it goes down making it moist.

    they also sell this mouthwash called biotene in wallgreens, rite aid, cvs etc. its supposed to be for dry mouth, my friend uses it before giving her boyfriend oral sex and according to her it works great lol sorry for giving so much info. goodluck though! :)
