/24-7PressRelease/ - HOUSTON, TX, September 21, 2008 - As the fashion world decides which colors will be "in" this fall, Alden-Houston, downtown's finest boutique hotel, is thinking pink. That's because the hotel's stylish a+ bar is serving up a "Tickled Pink" martini throughout the month of October, benefiting The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The month dedicated to breast cancer awareness and pink ribbons is the perfect opportunity for Houstonians to sip in support of women across the globe affected by the deadly disease.
"We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer," says Susan Ward-Freeman, the hotel's general manager. "This is our toast to the magnificent research that the staff at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is exploring, in hopes that a cure for breast cancer will be discovered soon."
The "Tickled Pink" martini, garnished with a pale pink rose petal, is "clean, simple and pretty," says its creator, Evan Turner, sommelier for Alden-Houston. The martini sells for $12, with $5 from each drink going directly to M. D. Anderson.
