If there's one day in the entire year that you should take it easy, it's Labor Day. Since its inception, the national holiday has been honoring hard-working Americans by giving them a day off work. The day is typically a time for backyard barbecues chock-full of juicy burgers, hot dogs, no-cook sides and yummy desserts. But there's one thing no Labor Day celebration would be complete without and that's a cocktail.
Ingredients
Directions
Put 4 tea bags into a heat-proof container. Add 2 cups boiling water and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir well and let stand until cool. Remove tea bags.
Pour the tea into a large pitcher. Add 1 bottle red wine and 1/2 cup orange liqueur. Stir in 2 cups of assorted fruit and 1 sliced orange. Refrigerate covered until very cold, at least 2 hours.
Fill wine glasses with ice. Add red wine mixture to fill the glass 2/3 full. Use a spoon to add pieces of fruit to each glass. Top with seltzer water to fill the glass. Serve right away.
