Cocktail cures for hurricane stress

Ride out the storm with these mixed drinks

Hurricanes season is something everyone has to put up with when living in Florida, but that doesn't mean that the inconvenience of having to board up and lock down shouldn't piss us off. There's nothing more annoying than having to stock up for a no-hitter, or having to clean up after a hurricane batters your yard. So yes, get angry. Get real angry.  And just when the storm has stole away your AC, and flooded out your car, make this: Hair of the Dog. This spicy-gin cocktail puts a kick in the right spots. Almost like pressure points on your palate, a few sips will hopefully calm you down, if not, the Tabasco chili pepper combo will surely match your intensity so you won't be sulking in the dark alone.

Hair of the Dog

6 ounces Bulldog Gin
½ ounce lemon juice
2-3 dashes Tabasco
1 slice Chili pepper

Pour Bulldog Gin and Tobasco into ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake generously. Pour into a chilled rocks glass (without ice). Garnish with Chili pepper.
