Labor Day Celebrations often involve great food and interesting beverages in a variety of locations which could be your home, a park, a pool, or at someone else’s house.
Here are several cocktails that you can serve. The range of beverages includes canned cocktails and other cocktails that require a little time to mix up and a couple that require a bit more effort. I hope you have a chance to try at least a couple of these. The range of spirits and how the cocktail recipe is presented is pretty wide!
