Labor Day is a popular weekend for cookouts and outdoor parties.
No matter how clever you try to be with your menu planning, everyone likes the standards.
Grilled burgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs, bratwursts, and of course, steaks.
Mixed fruit salad, tomato, mozzarella and basil skewers (pictures below), potato salad. Brownies, cookies, or set up a "make your own ice cream sundae" station.
I always like to feature a signature" cocktail. Make up pitchers of Ginger Shandies (recipe and picture below) for refreshing drinks.
This recipe makes 6 servings.
You need: 3 bottles chilled Hoegaarden beer, 1 bottle chilled ginger beer, thinly sliced lemon, mint sprigs. Hoegaarden beer is a flavorful beer complimented with coriander and orange peel and it adds refreshing flavor to this cocktail.
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled beers. Stir in most of the lemon slices and mint sprigs. Fill 6 rocks glasses with ice. Add remaining lemon slices to the glasses and pour in the Ginger Shandy. Garnish each glass with a mint sprig and serve. It tastes refreshing and looks appealing in the pitcher.
Enjoy your safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
