Had a bit too much fun last night? Never fear! We've got delicious hangover cures right here—plus advice on how to avoid the old gueule de bois next time
I consider myself a pretty high-energy guy, but some mornings, even I need something that will really wake me up. The fresh ginger and pinch of salt brighten the fresh fruit and vegetable juices here, making this an ideal breakfast drink. It also cures a hangover like nothing else. Or so I’m told . . .
This punch is simple, easy, and highly refreshing. It was born out of necessity when we opened for brunch and had to serve tons of our West Side cocktails to the girls brunching in our garden. The solution was simple and a win-win for us and the guests. We love to recommend this punch in the summertime; its flavors and crispness will freshen up the nastiest hangover. Perfect for weddings, bar mitzvahs, bridal and baby showers, and all those cute get-togethers people have.
Since you’re already taking a couple of days to make punch, might as well make fancy ice. Try freezing water in balloons. Run the frozen ovals under cold water until they just fit inside your glasses.
When you’re still feeling last night’s cocktails, nothing tastes better than a warm, greasy burger with extra cheese, right? Well combine that with a buttery grilled cheese and a side of fries and you have the Empire Diner no fail hangover cure. Chef Amanda Freitag shows you how to make it.
Scenario: You're having a dinner party and your guests show up starving. Or let's say you're running a little bit behind on the main entree. Contributing Editor Alison Roman suggests a simple Green Goddess dip with crudités and a punchy-but-not-too-boozy cocktail (served as concentrate so you don't have to play bartender) to keep your guests busy.

This dish is for when a 3 p.m. hang turns into a dinner party or when you’ve had too long of a day at work. But just because it’s comfort food doesn’t mean there aren’t techniques. They’re the same ones that go into every restaurant pasta you’ve ever loved: Salt the boiling water; cook the pasta al dente; create a silky sauce that marries pasta water, Parmesan, olive oil, and butter.
