As much as I’d like to think I’m still 23, the headaches I get the morning after several cocktails — or even two glasses of wine — make it very clear that I am not. And while there are several things you can do to avoid a hangover without swearing off margaritas forever, sometimes I get a little carried away. New Year’s Eve is usually one of those times.
So, if you wake up Jan. 1 and need something to help you function like a normal human, try this. It may not make all your problems disappear, but it will rehydrate you and give you a little vitamin boost. Plus, it’s so delicious that you’ll probably want to sip it all the time, hangover or not.
Hangover remedy (Inspired by True Food Kitchen, serves 1)
1 cup coconut water (I like Harmless Harvest raw coconut water, but any kind is fine)
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup orange juice (I used blood orange juice, which is why the drink looks pink-ish)
Ice
Add some ice to a glass, then pour in all the juices and stir. Add a little more pineapple and orange juice if there’s room in the glass. Enjoy and feel better!
