The Ultimate Labor Day Cocktail Recipes!
September 2, 2021It’s Labor Day weekend, so why not reward yourself with an easy to craft cocktail? In the spirit of keeping things simple (it is Labor Day after all!), I’m sharing two of my favorite cocktails that use no more than four ingredients and are incredibly quick to make! So whether you’re hanging at home with the family this weekend, or having a few friends over. These are the ultimate Labor Day cocktail recipes! Cheers friends!
Vodka Watermelon Cocktail
INGREDIENTS
– 8 cups fresh, chilled watermelon
– 12 oz. coconut water (I use this organic coconut water )
– 4 TBS fresh lime juice
– 1 cup citrus flavored vodka, I prefer to use Pinnacle Citrus Vodka
– Fresh mint for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Using your Vitamix or blender, add watermelon, coconut water and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth and then pour the mixture into a large pitcher and add Pinnacle Citrus Vodka. Stir gently.
I personally like serving this cocktail over ice, in a tall cocktail glass, finished off with a lime wedge and fresh mint.
The Paloma Cocktail
Next, this classic little cocktail will bring you straight back to the beaches of Mexico. You guessed it, here is my spin on the classic, delicious Paloma cocktail! ENJOY!
Paloma Cocktail
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1/4 - 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit Soda
Instructions
- First, take your Collins Glass and begin by wetting the rim with a lime wedge, then roll it in a small dish of salt.
- Next take your cocktail shaker, fill with ice and add your tequila and fresh squeezed lime juice (I like this hand juicer).
- Put the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake, shake shake!
- Pour the entire contents of your cocktail shaker into your prepared Collins Glass and top with Fever-Tree Pink Grapefruit Soda.
- Garnish with a lime, a slice of grapefruit and possibly a sprig of rosemary and ENJOY!
I personally love using Q Grapefruit Soda or your favorite grapefruit juice mixed with Fever-Tree Soda Water (equal parts). Garnishing with a lime, and a sprig of rosemary really takes this beverage up a notch.
This recipe not your thing? Or, are you looking for another easy-to-make cocktail? I love this recipe for a tasty classic Margarita. So, consider checking out this easy recipe for simply the best scratch Margarita! Cheers friends!
Happy Labor Day friends!
