Labor Day! Have a Good One!!!!
You work hard all year, so this is the day to relax and celebrate. Throw a Labor Day bash that ends the summer right and kicks off your autumn in style!
The three-day Labor Day weekend in September is one last celebration before fall. Labor Day began as a celebration by factory workers after the 1894 Pullman strike. Labor union workers were off the job for almost two months. After this, the president realized the importance of supporting laborers and made Labor Day a national holiday. During the long weekend, most people relax and have a good time. One way to do this is with mixed drinks--alcoholic and otherwise.
Lemonade Punch
For this drink, have on hand three cans of frozen pink lemonade, one jar of maraschino cherries, one liter of lemon-lime soda and a bottle of red wine. If desired, replace the wine with another soda for a non-alcoholic version. Mix one can of lemonade with two cans of water. Freeze the lemonade in ice trays, placing a cherry inside each cube. Mix the other ingredients in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Slice an orange and lemon for garnish, and place the frozen ice cubes in the lemonade
Labor Day Weekend
This drink is a refreshing cocktail for a holiday weekend. Pour one part rum and one part Jägermeister over ice. Mix one part cherry juice with one part pineapple juice and pour over the alcohol until the glass is full. Make this drink individually, rather than in multiple servings.
Patriotic Margarita
This is a cooling, frozen margarita with three layers--one white, one red and one blue. For each layer, mix ¾-ounce triple sec, 1 ¼ ounces tequila, 2 ounces sweet and sour margarita mix, 2 cups crushed or shaved ice and 1 ½ ounces limejuice. To make the colors, add eight strawberries to the first layer and 1 ½ ounces of pineapple juice and 1/3 cup pineapple to the second layer. For the blue layer replace the triple sec with blue Curacao and add 1 ½ ounces pineapple juice. Multiply this mix to make more than one drink at a time.
