Whether you're slinking through the humid, city streets this summer or not, transport yourself to the healing epicenter of the world: The Red Rocks of Sedona, where the sunsets come technicolor and the drinks come spicy. We like this margarita recipe because the mezcal is smooth, the flavor notes are citrus-y and we loaded our shaker with anti-inflammatory turmeric.

- Wet the rim with lime wedge, and salt the rim with a mix of ground turmeric and coarse salt.
