Taste The Caribbean With These Delicious Labor Day Cocktails

The Labor Day holiday weekend is here, and with it comes the unofficial end to our quarantine summer. While we may not have been able to getaway as much as we would’ve liked, we can’t let our favorite season wind down without indulging in one last adventure – even if it will technically be from home.

This is the perfect time to call up our girl squads, find a rooftop with a view, and toast to a great summer by bringing the flavors of the Caribbean to us. Not sure how? Lucky for you I’ve rounded up a few island-inspired cocktails for Labor Day that are full of color, rum, coconut, and more so that your summer keeps going with every sip.

Cheers!
