So it’s Sunday morning again. Your pants are missing, you’re in a strange location, and your memories are as cloudy as your killer hangover is clear. What do you do? FM’s here to pick you up off the ground­—or at least to advise you what to drink post-drink (drunk).

1. The Bloody Mary

Directions:

Some see this as a tried and true hangover cure; the less diplomatic call it an alcoholic continuation of the night before. However you like to think of it, this zesty cocktail has enough bite to kickstart your day.

•  3 oz tomato juice

•  1 1/2 oz vodka

•  1/2 oz lemon juice

•  1 dash of Worcestershire sauce

•  salt

•  ground pepper

•  hot pepper sauce to taste

•  garnish: celery stalk/pickle spear/lemon or lime

2. The Hair of the Dog

Directions:

Not mentally or physically coordinated enough to make a Bloody Mary? Never fear: this head-clearing drink sounds ferocious and—more importantly—it’s easier to mix.

•  6 oz Bulldog Gin

•  1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

•  2-3 dashes of Tabasco sauce

•  slice of chili pepper to garnish

3. The Virgin Mary

Directions:

OK, so some people might suggest that alcohol post-alcohol is a bad idea. Our first reaction is “pffft.” Our second is to provide you with a non-alcoholic version of the Bloody Mary.

•  3 oz tomato juice

•  1/2 oz lemon juice

•  1 dash of Worcestershire sauce

•  celery salt

•  ground pepper

•  hot pepper or Tabasco sauce

•  celery stalk for garnish

•  pickle garnish for garnish
