Cocktail O’Clock: Labor Day Lounger
It may look like rain for a lot of Labor Day celebrants, but we can still toast summer!
Labor Day Lounger
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces Shellback Silver Rum
1/2 ounce Lemon Juice
1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
6 Basil Leaves
4 Pineapple Cubes – 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch roughly
25 Fresh Blueberries
1 ounce Club Soda
Blueberries & Pineapple for Garnish
Directions:
Muddle basil leaves, pineapple and blueberry in cocktail shaker. Add rum, lemon juice and simple syrup with ice. Shake vigorously to infuse basil flavor well. Strain into large rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with pineapple and blueberries.
I wish I weren’t home alone this weekend, because this sounds like it would have been the perfect drink for Labor Day, despite the rain. I’ll plan on extending summer another week and will make it for me and hubby next weekend!
