Originally, it was just a blend of vodka and tomato juice, but lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt eventually made their way into the classic Hair of the Dog hangover cure cocktail. This delicious rendition kicks it up another notch, thanks to the addition of horseradish, hot sauce, celery salt, pepperoncini peppers, and fresh celery sticks. Trust me—I used to avoid this boozy brunch bev myself until I tried this recipe. Ingredients 3 cups tomato juice ¾ cup (6 ounces) vodka ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice 1 to 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Tabasco) ½ teaspoon celery salt 4 pepperoncini peppers plus 1 tablespoon of the brine ¼ teaspoon black pepper 4 stalks celery Directions In a large pitcher, combine the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire, hot sauce, celery salt, pepperoncini brine, and black pepper. Serve over ice with the celery stalks and pepperoncini garnish.
