I need ideas for my pink ribbon party? Especially, pink cocktails/alcoholic drinks?!
I am hosting a Pink Ribbon Party in a month to raise money for breast cancer. I want a pink themed party so I am looking for ideas when it comes to drinks and food. Does anyone know of any pink coloured cocktails that are not too expensive to make? I would appreciate any food ideas or ways to raise more money for such a wonderful cause. All answers appreciated. Please, only serious answers!

For non drinkers
Pink lemonade for fizzle you could add club soda or seltzer
Shirley temples
7up or sprite, grenadine and cherries(you could spike them with vodka as well)
As far as food is concerned you could do
Smoked salmon with dill butter on pumpernickel bread
This is very easy
All you do is buy smoked salmon thinkly sliced
Buy pumpernickel bread cut the crust off and triangle the bread
To make dill butter you take soften salted butter and add dill to it and mix
Spread the butter on bread and add salmon on top
Prosciutto, fig and goat cheese crostini
Get some good bread any kind you want
Some prosciutto and a good goat cheese(you can use brie) instead
Italian baguette
Fig preserve
Cut up bread, spread on cookie sheet with olive oil, salt and pepper
Toast the bread until golden brown
Take out and cool
Spread fig preserve on the bread
Put a little of the goat cheese or Brie on that
Then arrange prosciutto on top
Put back into oven at 350 until cheese slightly melts then serve
It's a great cause, I hope it turns out well.
Edit: ideas is to go around your local stores and ask if they could donate something for an auction to raise more money. Most stores are happy to comply for causes such as this.
Grapefruit. I'm tring to think of healthy foods, at it would be a not-good irony to serve junk food at something that is supposed to promote health. (I always think it's funny when companies, like soda companies, support things like breast cancer. Yah. Since when is Diet Coke healthy? Just because it has no calories and labeled "diet"? I'm not buying it, literally and figuratively.)
I would do a search, "pink food" or "breast cancer parties", etc. as well.
ETA: Thank you, though. You have given me a seed for something I could do as well. However, I may not do it in October, since it's too close. Also, I think doing it in October is a little cliche'. (Kinda like heart health awareness in February, which I just think it's cheesy to tie in with Valentine's Day, which I think is a cheesy holiday anyway.)
cosmo's are the most popular pink drink, it's just cranberry, vodka and lime juice I think. you could serve cape cod's also, that's cranberry vodka and sprite or something. sex on the beach is pink too I think. how can I remember after drinking all those? haha!
Shirley Temple, Campari and Soda
