Cabo Wabo Cantina Supporting Breast Cancer Research With Signature Cocktail

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And Cabo Wabo Cantina on the Las Vegas Strip is supporting breast cancer research by donating a portion of sales from one of their signature cocktails. Locals and tourists have many choices when looking for a great Vegas cantina. But this month, there's only one that is also giving back in a big way.

Located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Cabo Wabo Cantina will help support breast cancer research throughout the entire month of October. They'll do this by donating $1 from every sale of their signature Vojito cocktail to the Susan G. Koman Foundation. A nonprofit organization dedicated to investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.

During the entire month of October, guests are invited to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at the strip-adjacent Vegas cantina and help give back to the community by ordering a signature Vojito cocktail. The drink is made with berry vodka, house-made sour mix, fresh blackberries, blueberries, lime and mint and topped with soda water. It's priced at just $16.45. Or guests can order a pitcher to share with their friends for just $49.95.

The Vojito cocktail will pair wonderfully with any of Cabo Wabo's authentic Baja Mexican dishes. Suggested dishes include Sammy’s Tequila Shrimp. Made with Baja shrimp, garlic, Cabo’s tequila-lime sauce and served with a side of garlic bread. Or the Baja style fish tacos, made with beer-battered cod on a flour tortilla, topped with shredded lettuce, chipotle aioli, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, lime and pickled onions. There are many other tasty options on Cabo Wabo Cantina menu too, for any meal of the day.

Instead of going to the usual spot for dinner, during October, head over to Cabo Wabo's Vegas Cantina instead. It combines the hard rockin' vibes of great music with the laid back ambiance of the beach. All with amazing food and a signature cocktail that can actually help save lives this month.

Seriously, do you need more reasons?
