October is the only month that I can tolerate a lot of pink. I do like pink, but I refuse to like things just because they are pink. (Pink does stink, afterall.) As you probably noticed from the influx of pinkness everywhere, it’s October - breast cancer awareness month.
While pink water bottles and pencils may not be that useful to me, I do enjoy a good drink now and again (OK, every day at 4 o'clock) and I love that Bottlegreen have launched a limited edition Bottlepink beverage.
Bottlegreen have teamed up with Breakthrough Breast Cancer to turn both the pomegranate & elderflower cordial and pressé pink, and they’ve created some delicious cocktails, too.
My favourite Bottlepink cocktail is the Pomegranate Daqueri. It’s sweet, refreshing, and it means you’ll be drinking for a good cause, for once...
