Fire water

rom spicy salsas and moles in Mexico to jerk chicken in the Caribbean to curries in India, there’s a reason people in the hottest climates are also drawn to fiery foods: When that heat crosses your lips, it raises your body temperature and makes you sweat; improving circulation and helping you cope better with the weather around you. The same is true with cocktails. A spicy drink is actually more refreshing when sipped slowly on a hot afternoon.
