Domino’s Offers Holiday Hangover Cure
‘Tis the season for too much drinkin’. Many people will be hungover during the holiday season, but Domino’s may have the solution. According to Wales Online, the pizza chain’s UK division is offering imbibing customers a hangover cure.
A study commissioned by Domino’s shows the average drinker will suffer from four hangovers in December, which is why they’ve come up with the Bloody Domino’s. The limited edition drink is made with a combination of tomato juice and pickle juice. A spicy blend of turmeric, cayenne pepper, fresh horseradish, and black pepper gives it a zesty kick. That doesn’t sound bad at all.
A company rep says, “Hangovers can be horrid so it’s no surprise we all have our way of dealing with them. Some reach for a Domino’s pizza, others a Bloody Mary. So, when we found out the nation was as tomato obsessed as us, we were inspired – and Bloody Domino’s was born.”
I told head office we needed to make a drink and they actually did it 😅

Which Booze Goes In Your Eggnog?
Rum (42%)
Rum is a liquor made by fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate, a clear liquid, is often aged in barrels of oak. While strongly associated with the Caribbean to this day due to its Barbadian origin, rum is nowadays produced in nearly every major sugar-producing region of the world.

Brandy (20%)
Brandy is a liquor produced by distilling wine and generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof). Typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif, some brandies are aged in wooden casks while others are colored with caramel coloring to imitate the effect of ageing. Some are produced using a combination of ageing and coloring. Among the most renowned varieties are Cognac (see below) and Armagnac from southwestern France.

Bourbon (17%)
Bourbon is a type of barrel-aged American whiskey made primarily from corn. The name is derived from the French Bourbon dynasty, although the precise source of inspiration is unclear. Possibilities include Bourbon County in Kentucky and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, both of which are named after the dynasty.

Whisky (16%)
Whisky or whiskey is a type of liquor made from fermented grain mash. It is a strictly regulated spirit worldwide with many classes and types. Various grains, which may be malted, are used for different varieties, including barley, corn, rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, which are typically made of charred white oak. Uncharred white oak casks previously used for the aging of port, rum or sherry are also sometimes used.

Cognac (5%)
Cognac is a variety of brandy named after the commune of Cognac, France. In order to be called cognac, the brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. Cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer “on the wood” than the minimum legal requirement.
