Back Cocktails for a Cure

Forget the bike rides, walks, and marathons, this HIV/AIDS fundraiser is more my style. This is the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants’ sixth brand-wide Red Ribbon Campaign, Cocktails for a Cure. From now until World AIDS Day, December 1, diners can enjoy any of four Red Ribbon-themed cocktails created by mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout and take part in fundraising events in November and December at Kimpton hotels throughout the country.

“Cocktails for a Cure” are $9 each and for each drink purchased, $1 will be donated to local AIDS/HIV charities nationwide. Themed libations include:

o Grapefruit Spritz: Ketel One Citroen, Campari, and grapefruit juice sparked with club soda
o Bad Apple: Don Julio Blanco, Lillet, Angostura bitters, apple juice, and ginger beer
o Orange Blossom Fizz: Belvedere Orange, St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, pineapple juice, and sparking wine
o Morning Daiquiri: Ten Cane Rum, Grand Marnier shaken with fresh lime juice and orange marmalade

With prices like this for such delicious drinks, I am sure I can raise a decent amount by December 1.
