Labor Day weekend and the end of summer are both good excuses to go camping. Here are three great, easy camping cocktails for your next foray in the great outdoors.
Easy Camping Cocktails
Outer Boroughs Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1½ ounce Rye Whiskey

Directions
- Light a smoke chip in the fire. Once it’s smoldering, pick it up with tongs and place it in your enamel coffee mug and cover it with a piece of foil. Wait 30 seconds, remove the foil, dump the smoke chip back into the fire, and pour in your pre-mixed Outer Boroughs.
- Add a few large chunks of ice and stir.
