The month of October affords us an opportunity to focus increased attention on the challenge of breast cancer and finding a cure. So, in honor of all those who are battling this insidious illness now, those who have survived and those who lost their battle,
and finally, those who will be diagnosed in the future, we’re devoting this Thirsty Thursday to drinking pink. - Rosé wine – Don’t feel like you have to drink white zinfandel (not that there’s anything wrong with that) to drink pink. Today’s rosé wines are not the saccharinely sweet versions of years past. For great dry and fruity taste, usually at inexpensive prices, try a Spanish rose (rosado) made from the Grenache grape.
Barb also swears by La Ferme Julien, a rose from Rhone Valley Vineyards available at Trader Joes for a very modest price.
- Pink Tickle – I first had this tasty cocktail at Table Three, a restaurant in West St. Louis County. Just mix 2/3 champagne with 1/3 X-Rated Fusion Liquor and you’ve got a fabulously pink and tasty concoction!
- Pink Squirrel – Flash back to our parents’ cocktail generation! The pink squirrel is a frozen cocktail made of equal parts of Crème de Noyaux, Crème de Cacao, and half and half. Blend with ice and serve. Yum!
- Cosmopolitan – While not technically true pink, we think this one is close enough and it tastes good.
