In early March I traveled to Austin, TX for South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW). Being a blogger/social media geek, I was in heaven and totally pumped for the conference and all its associated parties, panels and networking.
That’s when I got hit with a mega cold, the kind that requires twice the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C and two hour naps every afternoon. How was I supposed to make it through 16-hour days filled with all that running around, meeting people…and drinking!?
On day #2 of horrible cold/SXSW I was brunching at 2nd Bar and Kitchen (hyperlink below) when I discovered the C-Section. Despite its shiver-inducing name, it was sort of like discovering cocktail gold. See, this libation contained, among other things, an entire packet of Emergen-C. In one cocktail I could kill two birds with one stone: amp up my immune system AND get an energy boost critical to moving past any potential hangovers from all the partying.
I think I had that drink nearly every day I was in Austin, and remain convinced it was a major reason that I got through the conference. When I got home, I simply had to recreate it, or at least come up with a version of it that I could easily make. My friend Tammy and I came up a reasonable variation that is a great brunch cocktail, and incredibly simple to make!
Of course, you can play with fruit and flavored vodka variations for a customized cocktail to match what’s in season or a themed brunch! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

You may want to consider giving Alcotox a try. It prevents hangovers from happening in the first place instead of curing one afterwards. It also shields and protects the liver even while you are drinking. For more info go to http://www.alcotox.com
Dehydration is a common effect of a hangover. This can be reduced by drinking a lot of water. I drink a lot of water and lemon juice to get rid of a hangover. I tried an anti-hangover product ‘PRE|GAME’ and it worked. Checkout PRE|GAME by visiting the website http://www.drinkpregame.com.
