In the morning, try some kefir, avocado on whole-grain toast, with cold-pressed olive oil. “In the case of a hangover, a remedy I swear by is electrolytes! In particular, coconut water and kefir. Chuck the Alka-Seltzer into 8oz of chilled soda water (in a glass larger than 8 oz, in the event that it fizzes over, remember you are hungover and cannot handle that kind of crisis) Slug the bitters in, stir it with your finger and garnish with and orange peel. No ice cubes, they hold back the magical salty powder that never seems to dissolve! Drink it as quickly as possible without giving yourself an ice cream headache and then finish the rest of the soda water at your leisure. Additionally recommended is a lengthy shower that the Sierra Club would disapprove of (this is also a good place to finish the soda water).” - Jen Ackrill, bartender at Kaimana Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii

To be completely honest, plain old Alka-Seltzer is a godsend, but we are bartenders and when the opportunity to get crafty presents itself, what are we to do? Here’s how to make it: 1 packet Alka-Seltzer, 1 large chilled bottle soda water with aggressively large bubbles, 8 generous dashes Angostura bitters. “My go to is an Alka-Seltzer Old Fashioned. Take a shower and I'm good to go.” - Ben Potts, owner The Sylvester in Miami, Florida Go for a 1-3 mile run (depending on how I'm feeling). Wake up 1 hour before I need to leave my place. “Wake up 2 hours before I need to leave my place and drink 1L of water and take 800-1600mg of ibuprofen depending on severity and go back to sleep.


“Sweating out the evil is the only way for me so it’s a run, a cold shower to shock the system, and then a big bowl of Pho with all the spicy accoutrements.” - TJ Palmieri owner at Madrina’s in Gainesville, Florida Running, or some form of exercise, is a popular hangover cure among bartenders getty

If I’m feeling nauseous, then a couple dashes of Angostura might turn into a full shot.” - Anthony Valencia, bartender in Miami, Florida Don’t underestimate the Redbull/ginger beer combo! It’s got that zing/spice and a buttload of caffeine. If I’m hungover, but I have barely enough time to relax before work, I’ll crush half a Redbull and half a Fever Tree ginger beer with Angostura bitters. If I’m off, but have drinking plans that day, I just go straight back to drinking-a couple shots of tequila like Fortaleza and a light cerveza, and your soul will thank you. If I’m off all day it’s a greasy double bacon cheeseburger, fries, ice cold Coca Cola, and an Electrolit (basically Pedialyte) for dessert. “Personally I have a few remedies for hangovers. It often seems counterintuitive to eat when you are nauseous, but honestly push past it and get that first bit of something in your stomach to give your system a fighting chance against all the stuff you threw at it the day before.” - Drew Record, managing partner at Chezchez in San Francisco, California

When I used to travel a lot as a whisky ambassador, I found that the kimchi reset my gut and the egg gave me enough protein to roll right back into those early morning tasting sessions. Soft boiled or poached if you can get it-but beggars can’t be choosers and all. “There is nothing quite as fortifying as a little kimchi and an egg, and of course as much water as I can muster. Kimchi, egg, and pho are all favorite hangover cures getty
