Labor Day weekend is the perfect excuse to squeeze in as many summer drinks as we can before the weather turns cool and thoughts turn to hot tea. We’re keeping the party simple with a pitcher of cocktails and sweet and salty snacks.

We happily sipped our way through Portugal and Spain in early spring and carried on the vibe throughout the summer. Tinto de verano, a combination of equal parts red wine and lemon-lime soda, makes for easy, lower-alcohol sipping. Similarly, in Portugal, red or white port wines mingle in a glass over ice with a generous pour of tonic water.
