Make sure to take precautions when traveling during extreme summer heat. Sizzling temperatures can cause heat exhaustion and life-threatening heat stroke. Check the forecast before a trip and consider moving outdoor activities to early morning or late night hours. Pack water, cooling towels and a wide-brimmed hat. Take extra precautions for infants, older adults and people with health conditions who may be more vulnerable. While vacationing, look out for symptoms of heat illness like dizziness, fainting and nausea and be prepared to seek shade and sip water. As temperatures climb, travelers should listen to their bodies and remain flexible.

Food writer J.M. Hirsch has a refreshing twist on the classic margarita in his book âFreezer Door Cocktails.â This version was inspired by a cocktail at Bitter and Twisted in Phoenix. It uses Italian limoncello for sweetness and citrus. Coconut oil is used to fat-wash the tequila, adding creamy tropical notes. The result is refreshing and tropical. To make the Amalfi Lemon Margarita, combine blanco tequila with melted coconut oil. Let it sit, then freeze and strain. Add limoncello and syrup, shake well and store in the freezer. Serve in a coupe with crushed ice.
