Being the giant fan of summer that I am, Labor Day is always a little sad.

Even though it won’t get chilly for another few weeks, the mere promise of shorter days, schoolwork, and winter hats constantly ruining perfectly styled hair is enough to make me a little depressed…at least until fall fashions go on sale.

For many of us, Labor Day is a last hurrah; our last 24 hours to wear white pants (which perhaps some of us shouldn’t be wearing in the first place?), last day to barbeque without standing by the grill in a jacket, and last 3-day weekend for a while.

It’s also a party, whether we’re partying with friends or throwing our own personal celebration that consists of doing absolutely nothing—and enjoying the hell out of it.

In honor of Goodbye-To-Bathing-Suits weekend, I’ve found the perfect cocktail to commemorate a summer gone by.

Frozen Watermelon Margarita

* 2 1/2 cups seedless (or seeded) watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
* 4 ounces tequila
* 2 ounces orange flavored liqueur
* 1 3/4 cups ice
* lime wheel or watermelon wedge (for garnish)

Stuff all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. If desired, add a bit of sugar to the rim of each glass before garnishing with a lime wheel or a watermelon wedge. Serve immediately.

…And remember, not only are the cops out in full force this holiday weekend, but ruining a good time by getting yourself wasted is a lame way to end any celebration. Just ask Andy Dick.
