If you’ve been noticing, I’ve been making a lot of pink cocktails this month. For those who don’t know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! When I was in college, my sorority’s philanthropy was (and still is) breast cancer awareness and education. Because of our October-filled events all promoting awareness of breast cancer – including 5K’s, going to the Giants stadium to hand out ribbons, and promoting awareness on campus – it’s been instilled in me to continue spreading awareness. What’s a great way to spread awareness? Use my platform and make some fun pink drinks!

WANT TO CHANGE THIS BLACKBERRY & ROSEMARY MARGARITA UP?

You can try this cocktail changed up a few ways:

• Use mezcal instead of tequila for a smokier taste. For extra points, you can light your rosemary sprig on fire for a few seconds then place inside your cocktail.
• Try a different type of berry!
• Mix up the simple syrup – you can find many different ways to make it here. You could also make the simple syrup with agave instead of sugar!
• Try it without the simple syrup if you tend to lean more sour!
