For some, New Year\u2019s weekend may involve a cocktail or two. (or three or four!) While there\u2019s no harm in ringing in the New Year with a d\u2019lish sipper, remember to always have one glass of water for every drink! But for those that have indulged a bit too much, I have some good ideas to help ease the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

My go-to cure is what I call the Hangover Helper.<\/b> Just empty a packet of Emergen-C into a juice glass and add a little vodka \u2013 or gin if you’re so inclined, a dash of bitters and soda water. Top with a few drops of olive oil \u2014 that\u2019s right! Drink up! But if that sounds too intense, a glass of bubbly soda water with 4-5 shakes of Angostura bitters can help ease the tummy. <\/p>\n

New Year\u2019s Day entertaining? A Bloody Mary Bar for brunch will definitely help with that headache. A little hair of the dog! Set up a DIY station with lots of fun garnishes and let your guests mix up their own concoctions. <\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to eat! Boosting your metabolism will make you feel better faster than anything. For me\u2026bacon is always the magic cure. <\/p>\n

Wishing a happy start to your New Years! And remember to always have a designated driver. Cheers!
\n-Kathy <\/p>\n

Hangover Helper<\/b>
\nOver the course of testing recipes for my cookbook, Sips and Apps, I of course tried this one, too. I am pleased to say that it works.
\nMakes 1 drink<\/p>\n

1 packet raspberry- or orange-flavored Emergen-C
\n1 ounce vodka
\n2 dashes Angostura bitters
\n4 ounces chilled soda water
\n1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)<\/p>\n

Empty the packet of Emergen-C into an old-fashioned or juice glass. Measure in the vodka. Add the bitters and soda water and stir. Top with olive oil if desired. Drink and feel better!<\/p>\n
