Cocktail Hour: The Prairie Oyster

I've been assured that this drink is the very very best hangover cure. But here's the thing: I'm too much of a wuss to try it. So, I thought I'd ask you clever (often worse for wear) ladies what you thought. Have you tried this?! Does it work? Because frankly, it sounds a bit yucky. Even if it's good enough for James Bond - and it should be after all of those martinis - it's hardly the most glam of drinks.

But, I'm keen to try anything that will get rid of a cocktail hangover the next day. Sometimes a bacon sandwich and a cuppa just doesn't cut it. Which makes me feel a bit sad about the magical powers of tea. Before you make this drink though, I should give you the obligitary warning about raw eggs and their possible salmonella content. Only use the freshest ones you have.

You'll need:

• Raw egg
• Teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper
• Tabasco sauce

Shake it!

Crack the raw egg into a glass (don't break the egg!), douse with the other ingredients. Then knock back thinking of something other than the fact you're eating raw eggs. Feel better! Then come and tell us if this works.
