An apparatus and method are disclosed for orally administering to a recipient a medication, in a liquid form, and a flavor for rendering the medication more palatable to the recipient. A manually-operated liquid dispenser dispenses a measured dose of the medication at an administering head comprised of an edible flavored material placed within a recipient's mouth. A handle is coupled with the dispenser, by inserting either one into a receptacle of the other, and the dispenser is operated manually to dispense the medication through a dispensing outlet located relative to the administering head to assure administering substantially all of the measured dose of medication to the recipient's mouth while flavor is derived from the edible flavored material for being present with the measured dose of medication.
