Hair of the Dog Cocktail Recipe- Hangover Cure from Bulldog Gin

The old saying "hair of the dog that bit you" is a common theory for curing a hangover. Most people choose a Bloody Mary, but the thick, red drink can be rather upsetting to look at, much less drink when you're in the midst of a hellacious hangover. The Hair of the Dog cocktail is a great alternative that serves the same purpose: a little bit of alcohol, sour citrus and the hot digestive aid to calm the stomach. Unless you have a Bloody Mary mix on hand, Hair of the Dog is easier to mix, an attribute you'll appreciate when your head is splitting and stomach is churning.

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz Bulldog Gi
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juic
  • 2-3 dashes Tabasco sauc
  • slice of chili peppe

Preparation:

  1. Pour the Bulldog Gin and Tabasco into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.
  2. Shake generously.
  3. Strain into a chilled rocks glass.
  4. Garnish with a chili pepper.

Remember to wash your hands well with soap (especially before touching your eyes) if you handle the chili pepper.
