Celebrate Labor Day with the Perfect Summer Cocktails from Patron ! #Tequila #Recipes
We are getting down to the wire for Labor Day Weekend. Weird that this is a late Labor Day since it’s September 7 this year which is very late! In light of trying to help you do a bit of planning for the big holiday weekend coming up, I am going to be sharing posts about cocktail and food recipes along with other “usual” content.
It’s time to start planning your BBQs and parties now so that you can get the timing down, shopping done and be ready for your besties to show up for one heck of a holiday weekend! Courtesy of Patron Tequila, I have a slew of recipes for some super tasty cocktails!!

All of these are original and fun. The coconut water/cucumber combination is certainly with a try. They all are.
