Marijuarita
There’s no booze in this marg from Sweet Dreams Vineyard, but there is some THC. Mellow out with this citrusy sipper (10-100 mg.; $14-$18). sweetdreamsvineyard.com

Barbary Fig Margarita
Some say Barbary fig. Here in the desert, we call it prickly pear. La Hacienda’s cactus-fruit margarita is extra pink thanks to hibiscus ($16). scottsdaleprincess.com/dining/la-hacienda

Cactus Blossom
Not imbibing but still want a pretty pink drink? LON’s Last Drop’s non-alcoholic prickly pear marg doppelgänger ($12) features Seedlip Grove NA “spirit,” agave, lime, prickly pear and soda. hermosainn.com

Mango Mezcarita
Smoky mezcal stands in for tequila in Los Sombreros’ twist on a mango margarita ($13). Dry Spanish fino sherry adds an almond-y note. lossombreros.com

Coconut Margarita
Put the lime in the coconut and… make a margarita? CRUjiente Tacos’ tropical marg ($10) is serving piña colada vibes, sans the sickly sweetness. crutacos.com
