Fool Proof Hangover Cocktails
Sunday fun-day, better than a Monday!
November, December and January; synonymous with Christmas catch us and end of year beverages (did someone say beveragino?). Everyone knows the easiest – and the most fun – way to cure a hangover to start drinking again. In saying that, we’ve rounded up some pretty efficient cocktails that will put a stop to those post-alco-blues. A hangover cocktail list can’t begin without the classic bloody Mary, so let the party begin (again).
Bloody Mary
Makes two
You’ll need:
Large handful of ice
100ml vodka
500ml tomato juice
1 tbsp lemon juice, plus 2 slices to serve
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce (to taste)
Pinch of celery salt
1 celery stalks (to serve)
Method:
In a large jug, place the ice. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour straight onto the ice. Add three shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco and a pinch of celery salt. Stir well and then strain into two tall glasses. Top up with fresh ice and add a fresh celery stick and lemon slice.
