Where to Drink Pink for Charity This October
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so you may have seen a lot of pink around town. Now the pink is in your drink. Bars and restaurants are offering pink drinks with the proceeds going toward charities that help those fighting the disease and those searching for a cure. Here is where you can Drink Pink while helping a good cause. All drinks are available until October 31.
Blue Island Oyster Bar
This new bar in Cherry Creek North is already diving into Pink-tober with the Blue Island Pink Drink, a boozy concoction of Monopolowa Vodka, St. Germaine, house-made basil syrup, and cranberry for a tasty bar sipper. For every cocktail sold, $1 will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research.
