Labor Day: when we lament the loss of work-free Fridays but get giddy for flannel and layers.
As “Call Me Maybe” becomes redolent of warm months past, we urge you to handle the summer-to-fall transition like an adult — with (responsible) alcohol consumption. We asked Jason Littrell, one of the cocktail architects behind JBird’s menu, among others, to create a non-labor-intensive beverage with notes of both seasons.
