Resqwater Makes Hangovers a Thing of the Past

(The above title was just to lure you in. It worked! But we do approve this Boozer’s little helper)

It’s rolling up to weekend time and with the first signs of warm weather arriving we have a feeling there may be some booze and beer in the forecast.

We love to party too but that hangover really puts a damper on things. When we came across Resqwater we were intrigued. The company touts that their product is an anti-hangover drink that is all-natural, gluten free (?) and certified kosher (!).

The key ingredients that sparked our interest are:

Sucrose- Since your body requires a lot of sugar to process drinks, this is a good way to help get that process in motion and reduce the dizzy, disoriented feelings that come with a good hangover.

Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit Extract- Helps decrease inflammation therefore it reduces nausea, lack of appetite and cotton mouth.

Electrolytes- Your body needs these to keep running at it’s best and all those trips to the bathroom can deplete them at a rapid rate.

Milk Thistle- We have been taking Milk Thistle pills for years to help the liver function properly so we were pleased to find the extract in the mix.

The key is to be sure to drink Resqwater during and after your party monster lets loose. Granted, you are not going to carry around this bottle to all the bars, but if you are having a crew over to the house, pass this around between beer pong rounds.

Today, the country is responsible for some exciting up-and-coming wines. The Baja region, in particular, is home to more than 125 producers and is beginning to get some serious industry recognition. Beneath the fine agave spirits and beach-friendly lagers, there’s quality wine on Mexico’s Pacific coast.

This is how to sharpen a serrated knife the right way
This fearsome blade needs a little extra love
Knife blades closeup

In every good set of kitchen knives, there is one particular blade that most people both love and hate. We love it for its ability to flawlessly slice through foods like crusty baguettes and plump, ripened tomatoes. Its jagged edge gives us smooth cuts through otherwise tricky-to-slice ingredients, all while appearing rather fierce in the process. But this knife can be desperately infuriating in its trickiness to sharpen. This is the serrated knife - a fiercely toothy blade with a saw-like edge.

Serrated knives come in all sizes for a variety of kitchen tasks. Their toothy edge is perfect for many culinary uses, allowing for crisp, clean cuts without tearing or squashing the ingredient's often tender interior.

We know James Bond likes his vodka martini shaken, not stirred, how do you like yours?

The martini is an iconic cocktail, with millions being poured since its inception. Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was known to down martinis, as did legendary author Ernest Hemingway and the greatest spy of all time, James Bond, who famously liked his vodka martini shaken, not stirred. As you can see from Bond's specifications, there is more than one way to make a martini and crafting a martini the "proper" way is a subject of debate. Does a martini have to employ gin or vodka? Will the Martini Police pop up out of nowhere if you use vodka instead of gin?
