The words “detox” and “margarita” likely don’t belong in the same sentence, but I’m all for poking a little fun at the wild world of wellness. This vibrant margarita brings the sweet heat with freshly squeezed citrus and a little heat from cayenne (if you dare). Instead of a standard salted rim, I like a pinch of pink salt to emphasize the other flavors. Tequila or not, this juicy tonic is a party in a glass. – Meredith Youngson, Super Tonics: 75 Adaptogen-Packed Recipes for Sleep, Beauty, and Wellness, Appetite by Random House
