Happy Hour: Total Nonstop Action Cocktail

Okay, so its name doesn't exactly conjure the long-weekend vibe you're probably going for, but we're still digging this cocktail from Hella Bitter co-founder Tobin Ludwig (who, thanks to Kickstarter funding, is getting ready to release a DIY bitters kit for aspiring concocters of these botanical-based ingredients). The tequila-anchored drink features a smoked saline solution (easily made by combining smoked salt and hot water), so it's going to play nicely at your Labor Day cookout.

Get the recipe, and happy Labor Day weekend, everyone!
