Good Morning Darlings!

Can you believe it’s September next week? Come on Autumn! But first, we must say goodbye to summer via Labor Day.

Labor Day Weekend is right around the corner marking the official end of summer!!!! While we are not quite ready for the heavy wool coats and scarves, the new season will come with some wonderful changes – change of leaves, change of wardrobe and a richer, warm cocktail craving. A team of mixologists has recommended some great Labor Day cocktails to help welcome in the start of a new season! So, to help you step up and pay tribute to the official start of the beginning of the fall, how about the following cocktails?

Season’s Delight
2 oz CAMUS VS ELEGANCE
1/2 oz Aperol
1/2 oz St Germain
3/4 oz Lemon
1 dash of rubarb bitters

Shake and strain into cocktail glass and garnish with a flamed orange twist. Sounds like the perfect libation for your Pride Party!

Le Chat Noir
1 oz Lucid Absinthe
1 oz Effen Black Cherry Vodka
2 oz Lemon-lime soda
Raspberry Liqueur to taste

Tea Time

2 oz Flor de Caña 7 Year Rum
