Classic Bloody Mary cocktail, made with vodka, tomato juice, celery salt and horseradish, is the best hangover cure.

Fill a tall tumbler with ice, then pour in the vodka. Top up with good-quality chilled tomato juice, then add a pinch each of celery salt and ground black pepper. Shake in a few drops each of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce, then add a little grated horseradish (fresh or from a jar – but not creamed!) to taste.

Add a splash of sherry (fino is good if you like it dry, or try amontillado if you prefer a richer flavour). Add a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with a celery stick for stirring.
