Cocktail Hour at Club Essentia
Miami Beach, FL – September 12, 2013 – Art Basel is but a few months away. Before it: III Points. After that: Halloween. If you’ve already begun contemplating how on earth you will survive October’s social engagements, let alone November and December, we suggest heading to the Delano for a new kind of cocktail.
Sure, you can still find a glass of champagne or a vodka soda at the bar, but at the indoor/outdoor rooftop spa at Club Essentia Wellness Retreat, you’ll find the kind of cocktail that will actually cure a hangover—instead of giving you one.
The latest libation craze: IV cocktails. The trend kicked off earlier this year, but with social season starting, now is the time to start plotting your recovering from the constant stream of parties sure to take over Miami Beach. Consisting of various vitamins, minerals and amino acids placed into an IV push bag, these powerful IV treatments replicate prescription drugs and can do everything from boost your immune system to peak your libido in as little as 10 to 60 minutes and starting at $150.
Intravenous liquid nutrition therapy, as it’s known, uses IV needles to inject patients with vitamins like B12 directly into their bloodstream to ward off the after effects of having one too many the night before. It all comes courtesy of Dr. Ivan Rusilko. The theory behind the idea is that IV nutrition works better, faster and stronger because there is less loss of potency due to the non-oral nature of the cure, making it good to the last drop. And not to fret, all the IVs are administered by a practicing physician.
Instant gratification comes in the form of hangover cures, energy boots and libido increases, but over time a series of treatments can help with weight loss, complete detox, even fitness enhancement. Dr. Rusilko offers 70 different ingredients in his medical cocktails with some of the options on the menu including the Booster IV for libido, immune, relaxation, replenishment, weight loss, hangovers, detoxing and increasing brain power. There’s also the Comprehensive IV for total immune therapy. As well as Customized IVs, where patients have a one-on-one consultation and IVs are tailored to fit their needs. And finally, the Choline Exchange IV, which uses IV nutrients to boost healthy cellular metabolism. And you thought juicing was latest health craze.
Taking spa-ing to the next level, stop in for a facial, Swedish massage or hyperbaric oxygen treatment, then step it up a notch and get a dose of the good stuff to make you feel even better, all while enjoying a bird-eye view of South Beach.
Go ahead and have another round. Hangovers just got that much better.
