Hangover Helper

Some mornings, you need a little hair of the dog.

Others, your hangover’s so bad, you need to lick the floor of a pet salon after an English sheepdog gets groomed.

On such dog days, drag your sorry butt over to Spire, now serving not one, but four adorable drinks at its new brunch-time mini Bloody Mary tasting.

And don’t expect the standard Tabasco, Worcestershire, and tomato juice, either. Rather come for concoctions certain to distract your taste buds from your dry mouth.

The Spire Bloody Mary is made from house-infused basil/garlic/pepper vodka; the Sangria Bloody Mary mixes orange and tomato juices with Hangar 1 kaffir lime vodka; the Nantucket Bloody Mary has Triple 8 vodka and offshore mix; and garlic, horseradish, and tomato “consomme” go into the Bloody Blanc.

The only problem? The cute-but-small size of the mini-cocktails may leave you needing a bit more, um, incentive to face the day.

Which gives you reason to order another flight.

Or five.
