Posted: 09/01/11 02:37 PM ET


Planning to park it at a campsite this holiday weekend?

From a versatile gin classic to a two-ingredient sipper, these camp-worthy cocktails are ready to help you celebrate this last long weekend of summer.

"Camp-worthy cocktails?" This is irresponsible reporting unless "camping" in ones own back yard. People will imbibe without encouragement. Especially on this busy holiday of heavy traffic & forests & fields being dry, the encouragement should be for the humans to be "dry," also, so that people can be as safe as possible.
