Within the pages of this unique drink recipe book, you'll find hangover remedies, including non-alcoholic options, as well as an entire chapter on how to prevent a hangover in the first place.

You wake up, head spinning, stomach churning, wishing you were dead. You have a hangover—and celebrated bartender Salvatore Calabrese is here to help. In the leading bartending book for the morning after, Calabrese explains why we get hangovers and how to avoid them, temper them, and heal them the morning after. To do this, the cocktail “Maestro” shares his secret drink recipes to lessen the pounding in your head, from the Apothecary, Bartender’s Breakfast, and Corpse Reviver to the Spirit Lifter, Suffering Bastard, and Wake-Up Call. If you can’t stomach the thought of more booze, try one of the non-alcoholic drink recipes, including the Cleanser Cocktail, Dale DeGroff’s Macho Gazpacho, or a Virgin Mary.

Packed with insightful quotes, expert advice, and a generous dose of humor, Hair of the Dog provides a handy hangover scale to judge your level of suffering, a three-day detox program, and a collection of herbal remedies. With the Maestro’s help, you’ll be back on your feet in no time! This is a must-shake companion to Calabrese’s bestselling bartender bible, The Complete Home Bartender’s Guide.
