The Champagne has been consumed, the resolutions made and now – what’s this? – the annual New Year’s Day hangover.
From The District American Kitchen, winner of The Most Spirited Cocktail of 2012, comes a hangover cure in a glass.
Their recipe for a Bloody Bourbon has V8 (healthy!), chorizo (protein!) and Jim Beam (hair of the dog!) which, when combined, will surely pick you up just enough to migrate to the sofa.
Enjoy!
