Love apple cider vinegar. I usually make a drink out of it, makes it go down easier, though I don't know if it would be quite as potent.
Add a few teaspoons of the apple cider vinegar to a cup of warm/hot water, with a teaspoon of sugar or honey (preferably manuka honey, which in itself would be good for a sore throat), if you need it sweeter.

Sore Throat Prevention

Whenever I feel a tingle in my throat, I get a small glass of warm water and add 1 T of apple cider vinegar and drink it down. Then I start drinking a cup of hot tea a couple times a day with 1 T of honey and 1 T of apple cider vinegar and have not had a problem with sore throat in several years since I started doing this.

Stop a cold or sore throat

My husband taught me this one! If you feel like you might be coming down with a cold or sore throat, gargle with Listerine. Sometimes you can keep yourself from getting sick. It doesn't always work, of course, but it really helps! Give it a try.
I also like Airborne, but I don't always have it around the house and mouthwash has been a lifesaver.
