A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by Leslie Dinaberg

October is the perfect time to think pink and drink pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Why not try the pink-a-licious “Pink Dragon” at the Ty Lounge at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore (1260 Channel Dr.)? Made with Casamigos blanco tequila, Trimbach Liqueur Framboise, peach and strawberry shrub and exotic dragon fruit, this pretty-in-pink drink is not just tasty, it’s good for the soul:  10% of your proceeds benefit Cancer Center of Santa Barbara.

Another pink drink option is next weekend’s Crown the Town “Breast Drink” edition.  On Saturday, Oct. 12,  from 3–6 p.m. guests can go on a self-guided quest to find the “breast drink” in town!  Arch Rock Fish (608 Anacapa St.), Eureka! (791 Chapala St. in Paseo Nuevo), Chase Restaurant & Lounge (1012 State St.), Finch & Fork Restaurant (31 W. Carrillo St. in the Canary Hotel), Wildcat Lounge (15 W. Ortega St.) and Blue Agave (20 E. Cota St.) will all be pouring specialty “pink-infused” cocktails in honor of the occasion.  At the final stop guests vote on their favorite pink drink and the winner is crowned.

Sounds like a great girls night out to me! Presale tickets are just $30 and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara.

If you know of any other pink drink celebrations in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please let me know. I’d love to share them with our readers.

Cheers!
