MacKinnon
The base for the drink is Drambuie, the Scottish herbal honey-and-whisky liqueur, but before you write it off as too sweet, look at the citrus and soda--that will tone down the sugar a few notches. Plus, there's a slider of rum to help level out flavor, and to bring the horsepower up to the necessary level.
Smoky Iced Tea and Whiskey Cooler
The cocktail is smoky and complex without being heavy. It's got a lightness that comes from the lemon juice and ginger liqueur that make for a dangerously sippable drink.
The Highball
Short of simply popping open a beer or a straight slug of whiskey, there are few drinks that are less labor-intensive than the venerable highball. With Labor Day this weekend, we figured this was the perfect drink to share.

Cameron's Kick
This cocktail dates back to at least 1930; that's when it crops up in a slim book called Cocktails, by "Jimmy" late of Ciro's (it also appears in the Savoy Cocktail Book at about the same time).

Southern Baptist
Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo in NYC shared this rye cocktail with us, and it's a winner, spicy with lots of fresh ginger and bright from a bunch of fresh lime.
Mai Tai
The true Mai Tai is a vacation in a glass, bearing little resemblance to the sweet, murky rum drink you've likely tried before.
Light and Drizzly
A tasty, low-alcohol take on a Dark and Stormy.
Pimm's and Tonic
This super-easy highball is great with Fever Tree tonic, though feel free to substitute your tonic of choice.
For fortification, the Mamie Taylor relies on blended scotch, but while this dark spirit can evoke the cooler months, fresh lime juice lightens the spirit's ponderous demeanor, and a spicy ginger ale or ginger beer places it firmly in summer-cooler territory.
