Have yourself a Bloody Mary Christmas…
Cork purveyors of tasty health foods and vegan treats My Goodness have come up with a new way to make you feel better over the festive break.
The team have been bottling up their kimchi juice with a little fresh lime to make an instant, Vitamin C-loaded hangover cure.
The My Goodness Bloody Mary mix is a reviving take on the famous 1920’s cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and combinations of other spices and flavourings including Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, celery and lemon juice.
Traditionally, it’s consumed in the morning or early afternoon to ease the effects of excess alcohol consumption.
A zingy blend of Korean fermented vegetables, kimchee not only reduces cholesterol, it also has antioxidative and antiaging properties, promotes brain health and boosts the immune system.
Their version, currently being sold in glass bottles at their English Market stall, is full of digestive enzymes and probiotics, which are proven to enhance your gut health and make you feel right as rain before you sit town to your turkey dinner.
Can’t find that in a Full Irish, can you?
We recommend dressing the glass with a stick of fresh celery and a squeeze of lemon. Whether you add a shot of vodka to your My Goodness Bloody Mary is up to you.
