Swallow really deeply and slowly, as if you have something stuck in your throat. That usually works for me. Might need to try it twice.

Get a glass of water, take a single sip, then two sips in succession swallowing each separately,, keep doing this adding sips until you get to five sips in succession, by then your hiccups should be gone.

I came across this tip years ago and it always works for me.

Down a small shot of vinegar.
Honestly - it works

Cup yours hands really tightly round your nose and mouth - breathe nice and slowly.

Something to do with carbon dioxide building up in your hands makes your diaphragm relax and stops hiccups.

Works for me everytime

Smoke a cigarette. Works every time.

The other way is to get someone is to hit you in the back. Hard, like harder than other people are generally willing to. They need to get a spot about where your bra strap goes.
You will get raised eyebrows if you ask someone to hit you in the back though.
