Labor Day is a classic American holiday. The Cutty Sark is a famous British sailing vessel.
There the connection of the two concepts would end if not for the sweet booze pouring out of a Cutty Sark Whiskey bottle. So, the distiller is sailing in with three Labor Day cocktail recipes to honor the complete non-relation of the two above concepts.
Sail responsibly.
