4. Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary is famed for being the ultimate drink for the morning after the night before. This is no exception for our Mad Men, as Sterling-Cooper often had a big pitcher of the stuff ready for morning meetings (when did people stop doing this??). The big question with Bloody Marys is "do they work"? But, in all honesty, if you drank so much last night you blacked out, then putting any kind of booze back in your system the next morning should soothe the hangover by making you drunk again. That mixed with the vitamins in lemon and tomato should in theory help with the piercing agony in your skull, although perhaps not as much as 6 pints of water and 12 hours sleep. You can also add a celery stick as garnish for extra health.
Ingredients: 50ml vodka Juice of half a lemon 6 dashes Worcestershire sauce 3 dashes Tabasco sauce 150ml tomato juice Salt and pepper
Preparation: Mix together all ingredients over ice. If you're feeling brave (and are rushing to work) then down it in one.
