5 Recipes for an All-Natural Morning Recovery Hangover Drink
Hangovers are an unpleasant consequence of drinking too much alcohol. You can avoid getting a hangover by drinking plenty of water before you go to bed the night you drink, but if you do wake up with a hangover, there are some drink recipes you can try making that will make you feel better quickly.
This article will list five natural hangover recovery recipes to help you overcome the bad effects of a hangover and explain why each recipe works.
Lemon Seltzer
This hangover recovery drink is as simple as it sounds – plain seltzer water with a lemon wedge garnish. The carbonation in seltzer water will soothe your upset stomach, and squeezing some lemon juice into it will give you some Vitamin C. Wash down a few Ibuprofen with this drink, and you’ll be feeling better in no time.
This can be a good drink choice when you are trying to stay hydrated while drinking, not just after drinking. Seltzer with lemon looks like a cocktail, so if you want to look like you’re drinking the whole night without any water breaks, this is the way to go.
Earl Grey Tea or Another Type of Tea
If you are a regular coffee or tea drinker, you know you need your daily dose of caffeine to avoid your hangover headache morphing into a caffeine withdrawal headache. That will just compound your issues. This is where tea comes in because coffee might be too much for your sensitive digestive system to handle at the moment.
Earl Grey is a good choice, but you can choose any black tea you like, as long as it has a good amount of caffeine. Green tea is another good option because it contains high amounts of antioxidants that protect your cells from damage.
Virgin Hot Toddy
Non-virgin hot toddies may cure colds, but virgin ones can work wonders on hangovers, too. A virgin hot toddy is made up of cloves, honey, and lemon. Honey is a hangover remedy in and of itself. As we discussed previously, lemon offers Vitamin C. Cloves can shorten your hangover by speeding up your body’s elimination of the alcohol in your system. You can also add ginger to your virgin hot toddy, which will soothe your stomach and aid digestion. Another option is to forego the virgin aspect and make this a hair-of-the-dog by splashing in a shot of whiskey.
Oatmeal Smoothie
Hydrating will help weaken your hangover, but your body needs food, too. But food probably doesn’t sound very appealing right now. The oatmeal smoothie is a good choice because it contains nutritious food that goes down easy and will replenish your hydration levels.
There is no specific recipe for an oatmeal smoothie. You might want to start with a banana to give yourself some potassium, brown sugar, milk, and oatmeal. Feel free to add, subtract, and substitute ingredients to your liking.
Hangover IV Therapy
Although a hangover IV vitamin therapy is not technically a drink, it can be an effective way to help you overcome your hangover. This treatment contains a blend of anti-nausea medication, B-complex vitamins, electrolytes, IV fluids, Toradol, and Vitamin B12. The anti-nausea medication soothes your stomach and reduces vomiting, the B-complex vitamins, and Vitamin B12 will give you an energy boost, the electrolytes, and IV fluids will hydrate you, and the Toradol will relieve your headache and body aches.
Hangover IV treatments begin to work immediately because they go directly into your bloodstream instead of taking hours to pass through your digestive system as oral remedies do.

- Showers - cold showers MAY help ease your hangover symptoms but a Hangover IV Therapy WILL improve your symptoms within 30-60 minutes.
- Orally taken vitamins - Orally taken vitamins will help you with some hangover symptoms but it will take much longer because they have to be digested first.
- Orally taken medications - Orally taken medication can help you with some symptoms but they won’t tackle all of them. This medication also needs to pass through the digestive system so it takes a bit longer than our Hangover IV.
- Food - Food high in carbohydrates can help with some of the fatigue and headaches when you have a hangover but it takes some time to be digested and introduced into your blood.
- Drinks - drinking water and sport drinks rich with electrolytes will help you recover from your hangover but it takes a lot longer than getting all the right nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
