| Chad Larson tells us how to shut it down and start back up again |
Larson shared with us both his recipe for a dazzling champagne cocktail and his best tips for beating back the hangover.
Revelry:
1 oz. cognac
.75 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice
.25 oz. cinnamon syrup (recipe follows)
6 drops Bittercube Jamaican #2 bitters
2.5 oz. sparkling wine
Cinnamon Syrup
6 oz. hot water
9 oz. Demerara sugar or Turbinado sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Heat sugar and water in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Add broken cinnamon stick and steep for 24 hours. Remove cinnamon and use.
Recovery:
Coconut water. Have plenty of it! It has very high rehydrating properties, which will help you feel better fast.
If you want a little hair of the dog, try a Michelada, a traditional Mexican beer cocktail that is a spicy alternative to a bloody Mary.
Best to make this a day ahead of time.
Michelada
1 oz. Michelada Mix (recipe follows)
8 oz beer (whatever is your favorite or left over from your New Year's Eve party)
Pint glass
Kosher salt
Lime
Ice
Run a small slice of lime around half the rim of a pint glass. Lightly dip the lime edge into the salt, tap off the excess. Fill the glass with ice, add your favorite beer. Pour 1 oz. of the Michelada mix over the beer and garnish with a lime squeeze.
Michelada Mix
2 cups fresh lime juice
1 cup Valentina Hot Sauce
2 oz. chile de arbol powder
½ cup tequila
2 oz. Maggi seasoning
4 oz. tomato juice
½ oz. salt
Combine all ingredients into a large container, pour into a blender cup and blend for 30 seconds. Put back into the container and store in the refrigerator.
