Labor Me Not Cocktail for Labor Day – September 3rd

Labor Day is the perfect day to “labor me not”, so we decided to name this fruity cocktail to honor that laid back attitude. RiverTop is the café at the River Bluff Water Experience, and sitting out there in the sunshine, swimsuit on, feet up, sitting beside the pool, is the extreme side of labor me  – not!

This combination of fruit juices and rum tantalizes the taste buds and quenches the quaking thirst after a ride down the Lazy River. Seems a theme is developing here.

So, come on out to the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. Take a short stroll to the RiverTop café and unwind with this lazy cocktail.  Or if you can’t get to San Antonio,  let us bring San Antonio to you where the drinks are strong and the days are long and labor day is celebrated early and often.

Labor Me Not Cocktail

2 oz. Brugal 1888 Rum*

4 oz. Pineapple

1 oz. Orange Juice

1 oz. Cream of coconut

 

Blend and garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.

  • Brugal Rum is a wonderful sipping whiskey. 1888 is first matured in hand-picked ex bourbon American oak casks, then in European oak, first-fill sherry casks.
    This blend of two worlds gives 1888 a complex yet smooth flavour profile.

 

Happy Labor [Me Not] Day – September 3rd!
