   To ring in the Labor Day weekend properly, we enlisted the expertise of Diageo's World Class U.S. Bartender of the Year Jeff Bell. Bell, who regularly shakes up inventive and delicious concoctions as a well-known cocktail connoisseur at P.D.T. in New York City, suggested three special drinks for Yahoo Shine readers to celebrate the last days of summer. I tend to enjoy crisp, refreshing cocktails if I'm drinking on a warm summer afternoon, that's why I recommended these three classic cocktails. Wow your friends at your Labor Day BBQ this weekend with one of these delicious cocktails. 

   
   

   Crushed ice will make a drink colder faster, but will melt quicker and water down. Using larger ice will keep a drink colder longer without adding as much water and also check some recipes at Gourmandia.
