anti-hangover ice pack


Explanation:
lendemains difficiles, lendemains de cuite = hangover
I visualize the icecubes as a "poche de froid" (ice pack)

detox ice cubes


Explanation:
I would avoid using the word 'hangover' as someone else suggested, as the word is a bit unsavoury for a classy spa joint, innit? Although 'lendemains de cuite' does mean 'the day after you drank too much'.
