Hangover concoctions

As part of my research I have been looking for the best hangover remedies that I could find. I've never personally tried any of them but there is a great list on this website I found of the top 10 best hangover concoctions. I don't really need to think about the details as I am just getting an idea of the ingredients to put onto my packaging.

Heres the complete list

No.10 - The Suffering Bastard

Ingredients:

1 part bourbon
1 part gin
3 parts ginger ale
1 dash bitters (optional)

To make: Combine all ingredients over rocks, stir well and garnish with a lime.

The Suffering Bastard is a classic tiki cocktail, and as the name suggests, it's meant to go down easy on a hangover. Do yourself a huge favor, however, and try one of these delicious libations in the evening (you don't need to be suffering to enjoy the taste of this old standby). Light and refreshing, the gin and bourbon mix surprisingly well, so the ginger ale isn't drowned out.

No.9 - The Brass Monkey

Ingredients:

½ oz dark rum
½ oz vodka
4 oz orange juice

To make: Pour into rocks glass with lots of ice. Stir well, garnish with orange wheel.

This is another hangover cure you’ll enjoy without a hangover. The addition of the dark rum makes this the thinking-man’s screwdriver. One sip and you’ll see what the Beastie Boys were talking about. As far as hangover cures go, the orange juice will put some sugar and fluids back in your system (at least it’s a step in the right direction).

No.8 - Hair of the Dog (Shot)

Ingredients:

½ oz tequila
½ oz Irish whiskey
¼ oz Tabasco
¼ oz salt

To make: Combine first three ingredients in a shot glass. Layer salt on top. Shoot.

Ever wonder where the expression “Hair of the Dog” came from? From what we know, it originated in the time of Shakespeare, the product of some of the weird folk remedies that were popular then. Specifically, they claimed rabies from a dog’s bite was prevented by rubbing the wound with the hair of the dog that bit you. Thus, the tradition of drinking a little alcohol in the morning to ease your hangover was like rubbing the wound with the hair of the dog that “bit you.” This shot takes its name from that bit of folklore.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.7 - Jeeves' Secret Concoction

Ingredients:

1 raw egg
¼ oz Worcestershire sauce
¼ oz Tabasco

To make: Pour all three ingredients in a glass. Stir well, consume in one swig.

Made famous in the novels of P.G. Wodehouse, Jeeves the butler has become an icon. Even if you’ve never read a Wodehouse story, the name brings to mind the picture of a perfect gentleman, poised and polished. But if you haven’t read the books, you may not know one of Jeeves' most unusual talents: his ability to solve problems with drinks, including the mixture above.

No.6 - The Prairie Oyster

Ingredients:

1 egg
½ oz vodka (optional)
2 dashes vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ketchup
3 splashes Tabasco
Salt and pepper (optional)

To make: Crack the egg and pour into a glass without breaking the yolk. Add other ingredients and drink in one swig.

This classic hangover remedy is the great grandson of Jeeves' Secret Concoction. The addition of vodka and vinegar gives it more kick, and the ketchup covers some of the slippery feel of the egg. Other than that, the two have quite a bit in common (like sounding absolutely disgusting).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.5 - The Red Eye

Ingredients:

12 oz beer (a light beer will work best, save the good stuff)
4 oz tomato juice or V8
1 egg
1 oz vodka (optional)

To make: In a glass, pour tomato juice, then beer overtop. Crack egg into the glass and drink.

This drink must have been invented by somebody without the ingredients to mix a Bloody Mary (or by somebody too hung over to mix one). Either way, the Red Eye is a hilariously low-brow mixed drink, and the tomato juice is designed to help a man get back on his feet. So, if you really want to slum it in a hangover, skip brunch and Bloody Marys, and grab one of these and a big plate of bacon.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.4 - The Bartender's Breakfast

Ingredients:

2 oz vodka
1 handful cherry tomatoes
1 basil leaf
Pinch of ground coriander
Pinch of celery salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of chopped chives
Ice

To make: Throw all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

While all the vegetables and liquids in this drink do make for a good morning-after drink, we'd still like to meet the creator of this nightmare. We have a couple questions for the sicko who thought a Bloody Mary would make a good frozen drink. A cherry tomato daiquiri? What was wrong with strawberry?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.3 - Deep-Fried Canaries

While the ancient Romans gave us all kinds of wonderful creations, they also filled the history books with some truly disturbing behavior. Make room in your mind next to the famous Roman orgies and gladiator battles for this bit of information: a staple food for the morning after drinking in ancient Rome was deep-fried canary. And if you think that sounds cruel and unappetizing, just wait till you see what their great-grandchildren dreamed up at No. 2 on our list

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.2 - Dried Bull's Penis

If you're like us, the only way you can even imagine somebody eating dried bull's penis is on an episode of Fear Factor. The fact is, though, Sicilian men used to rely on this folk remedy to shake off the haze from a long night of the vino. Between the food, the cars and our own Mr. Mafioso, we can be thankful to the Italians for all kinds of good things -- a great hangover cure isn't one of them. And while this may sound like the grossest thing a person could ingest to cure a hangover, that “prize” definitely goes to our American-bred hangover cure at No. 1.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No.1 - Rabbit-Dropping Tea

As far as historical hangover cures go, this takes the cake. Sure, eating a bull's penis is nasty enough, but to actually cook with droppings -- blecch! Drinking rabbit-poop tea was a famous cure in the Old West. The drink was popular at the time -- cowboys weren't known to say no to a drink. There are tales of all sorts of heroes of the Wild West tending their hangovers with this vile concoction. And even though we normally approve of anything that was good enough for Billy the Kid and Doc, there isn't a hangover in the world that would make us go near this stuff. We take our 10-gallon hats off to the men and women of the Wild West -- this is hands down the most legendary hangover cure of all.
