At The Archer, in Jersey City, New Jersey, this bright-hued drink takes its cues from the spice cabinet. It incorporates turmeric, a root usually ground into a yellow-orange powder that’s popular in South Asian cooking, and has been making headlines in recent days as studies promoting its health benefits have been circulating. The addition of ginger and cayenne results in a cocktail with plenty of bold color and flavor.
