Menudo
No, this Mexican home remedy for a hangover does not entail listening to the songs of Menudo, a Latino boy band popular in the 80s. It’s all about consuming a meat dish having the same name. It consists of broth, chili peppers and tripe — cow stomach! It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, but it’s perfect for those who wish to get rid of their hangover without delay.
Pozole
There is another traditional Mexican dish that you may opt for if you have a really bad hangover, and it’s called pozole. Its main ingredient is processed corn called hominy, and pork or chicken are added into the mix.
Michelada
Perhaps you’re familiar with hair of the dog — a method of curing a hangover by consuming more alcohol. Well, Mexicans recommend the intake of the so-called michelada which is basically ice-cold beer with a few other ingredients. They include lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Maggi liquid seasoning.
Ojo Rojo
Here’s another alcoholic remedy for a hangover, and it’s what Mexicans refer to as ojo rojo. Opting for this solution for a nightmarish hangover entails glugging down a large serving of beer with tomato juice and clam juice stirred into it. Sometimes a little Maggi liquid seasoning is added into the mix, too.
Vuelve a La Vida
Not a believer of dealing with a hangover by drinking the one that has caused it in the first place? Then you may give vuelve a la vida a try, which is a non-alcoholic cocktail. It’s made by combining seafood, lime juice, tomato juice, celery, avocados and a bunch of select spices.
Aguachile
There’s another Mexican hangover remedy that’s perfect for you especially if you’re into seafood, and that’s none other than aguachile. Based on the name alone, it’s safe to assume that this is something that’s hot and spicy — this is shrimp in clear soup that’s seasoned with chili peppers, coriander, onion and lime juice.
Torta Agohada
In English, torta agohada means drowned sandwich. This traditional Mexican remedy for a terrible hangover is sandwich that is flooded with salsa, and it boasts of pork and fried beans swimming in spicy sauce. Because it’s so yummy, no one can blame you for having torta agohada even if you are free of any hangover!
Suero
One of the reasons why a hangover comes into being is the fact that alcohol can leave your body dehydrated. It’s a good thing that there is a Mexican sports drink that you can whip up that can help rehydrate your body, and it’s called suero. Such is made by adding lime juice and a little salt to a tall glass of ice-cold water.
