The Cucumber Sumac Margarita
Certified ayurvedic practitioner and lifestyle coach Talya Lutzker of Santa Cruz empowers women around health and self-care so they can feel energized, strong and vital at all ages. She also dabbles in what she calls “a refreshingly tart and earthy” take on a classic lemon-forward mocktail big on cuke-centric vitamin C. “Wildly delicious,” she says, “with a tangy flavor profile that’s visually vibrant.”

Zest one or two limes and set the lime zest aside. Combine 2 cups of water, ¾ cup sugar or maple syrup and 1 cup of fresh lime or lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat, cool completely, add the lime zest and refrigerate.

Ice is optional, but does not keep with Ayurvedic tradition, which holds that chilled beverages dampen digestive intensity (agni).
