How to Cure a Hangover

Author: Salvatore Calabres

Never suffer from a hangover again-wisdom from a celebrated bartender.

Salvatore Calabrese is one of the world's top bartenders-and, as such, he also uses his bar to create magic potions to revive his clientele. His range of restorative cocktails, with and without alcohol, are much tastier (and more effective) than the usual "hair of the dog"-try his Blood Transfusion, Corpse Reviver, or Tokyo Bloody Mary, all guaranteed to make the morning after more bearable. Drawing on 30 years of experience, he reveals the best drinks for avoiding hangovers (like vodka) and the worst (like Bourbon). He offers other proven remedies as well, such as herbal cures-and for those who have been seriously over-imbibing, there's a complete three-day detox program to cleanse the system.

Salvatore Calabrese's other books include Classic Drinks and Complete Home Bartender's Guide.
