The Holy Grail of bartenders - hangover cure


Some say it's not the alcohol that makes you feel horrible the morning after it's the sleep. I always feel good when up and drinking well until I fall asleep and just when I wake up - well it's bad ... Regardless of what causes that state, there are certain liquids that my body accept more than others. Some of them help to recover some get you back on track. 



Option 1 - Recovery

Virgin Mary is probably the most umami drink ever and that's exactly what you want when have a hangover - something nice that makes you feel good. Properly made Mary just hits the right spot. The key ingredient is the worcestershire sauce. Many recipies call for few dashes of it, though I think these dashed should  be large, about 25ml in total. Can not forget about the spice - some tabsco will do its job just fine. Finish it off with a fresh celery stick and some ground pepper for the aroma. Complete dish in a glass.


Apple spinach avocado smoothie. This smoothie is like heaven coming down to earth for my stomach on the day after. Take a half of a ripen avocado, handful of baby spinach, fresh green apple juice, some agave syrup and little touch of lime juice place them in a blender and all your problems are solved, maybe except last night credit card balance.


Alternate option - Back on track
If you lucky enough to get weekends of and get wasted on Friday evening there is no really a good reason why would you not just carry on the next day and start your brunch with one of the amazing following cocktails

Ramos Gin Fizz 
Oh this is just a spectacular potion that gets you manna level back up to a 100% within seconds. Eeeghmm well it may not be that quick actually cause making it takes a good few minutes, and bartenders tend to not have a very happy face when somebody is ordering one. I seriously think that 20 minutes shaking is not necessary however at least 2-3 minutes long shake is required to achieve that rich creamy texture of the drink which feels like touching a velvet with your naked ass. 


Corpse reviver no 2 
Some say there are people called necromancers who can bring the dead back to life. I say that is a total bullshit they are called bartenders. In late 1800s there was the whole family of Corpse Revivers drinks, most of them were long forgotten however one of them very effective is still known to bartenders all over the world.  




Either way you usually decide to go these four are absolute must try. Don't wait get the ingredients now or book a early brunch table for the day after.
