Classic recipes for morning-after tonics
Oh, we know, you'll never do it again. But vows don't
make your mistreated stomach or bruised brains feel
any better, do they? Left wondering who's the amateur
— you or the guy who wrote that inspiring cocktail
bible without a chapter called Hangover Cures? Here's
a tip: Barmen's handbooks tuck the restorative recipes
away under headings like Pick-Me-Ups, Eye Openers, and
Milk Punches. Concoctions that sound absurd at nightfall
may be preferred at daybreak. |

Each body calls for a different rehabilitative. After
a bout with spirits, most of us wake up thirsty. Although
the sugar in those cocktails probably intensified your
morning-after malaise, sweet juices will rehydrate you
faster than plain water can (something to do with electrolytes).
Thus, juices are a favorite item in hangover cures.
After fluids, the most favored ingredients are stomach
soothers. Nourishing egg yolks appear often in these
time-tested recipes, as do bouillon and whole milk.
We're talking lining-coating fats here.
Among alcoholic palliatives, champagne and brandy are
very popular. So is vodka, the most heavily filtered
of spirits. Some swear by the Italian herbal bitter
called Fernet-Branca, which appears in several classic
curatives, such as the Champagne Pick-Me-Up. Many try
adding a dash or two of other herbal bitters like angostura
to the mix.
