Dave
Broom's Hangover Cures for the Modern Drinker: 4-6 |
|
| It's a drink that even looks appealing, having a sort of sunrise
glow, while the juice is thick and soothing as it slips
down, giving a welcome hit of vitamin C. This is a Campari
with just the right amount of a bitter kick to wake you
up for the day. Braver drinkers can add Champagne and sweet
(ie red) vermouth to the Campari to make a Fizzing Americano.
It works equally well, but really depends on how much you
like bubbles as a potential hangover cure. |

| Sours are wonderful drinks that are absurdly easy to make, consisting
of lemon and/or lime juice, sugar (ideally sugar syrup,
but caster is fine) and a spirit, any spirit. The proportions
of each really depend on your personal taste: try one part
sugar to two parts sour to three of strong, then adjust
sweet and sour to taste, though remember these are SOUR,
not sweet. Though perfect on a hot summer afternoon, there's
something deliciously evil about that zap of lemon tartness
searing across your palate first thing in the morning, clearing
your mind. A garnish of orange will give you some Vitamin
C and help cut the drink if it's too acidic. |

| The sour's greatest quality is the way it delivers a lip-smacking
bolt of pure citric flavour and a belt of alcohol which
instantly banishes the taste of hamster's-cage floor from
your mouth. The lemon wakes you up, the sugar gives you
a boost, and the alcohol - well, we know what that does
already. The key is to use fresh lemon juice. Try using
equal amounts of lemon and spirit (50ml each), but feel
free to scale back on the citrus if it's too mouth-puckering
(maybe 50ml spirit to 25ml juice). Do NOT, however, increase
the amount of sugar: this is called a sour for good reason! |
