I saw a local ad for a party pig he’s a huge pig named Gilbert and he does appearances such as birthday parties. You can pet him, feed him, kiss him and take pictures with him his owner brings prop frames that say I kissed a pig and I liked it.
I need a signature cocktail that doesn’t involve bacon or bourbon most of my friends like fruity drinks. Any suggestions?
Because, yes, I’m serving pulled pork! The entertainment will be sent home safely though, no worries there.

OMG! I love pigs! I would have totally hired that for my dd's when they were younger  I'm lazy so I might make it easy on myself and just go for a nice pink Cosmopolitan  Have a great time! |

Makin' Bacon. I used to play it in the 80's. Brings back fun memories. |

I think it was called Pass the Pigs when I had it, as well.

We like to bring it to restaurants because it's quiet and doesn't take up a lot of space.

I think this would be good. I haven't tried it yet.
Ingredients:
1 (1.75-liter) bottle Raspberry Lemonade
1¾ cup coconut rum
1 cup amaretto liqueur
Instructions:
Combine raspberry lemonade, coconut rum, and amaretto liqueur in a large pitcher. Stir well, and serve over ice.
Notes:
I used Simply Lemonade with Raspberry.
Amaretto is an almond-flavored liquor. I prefer Disaronno brand.
I used Malibu coconut rum.
Feel free to adjust the amounts of amaretto and Malibu to your personal preference.
You can make the cocktail in advance and refrigerate until ready to serve.
The cocktail mixture will keep 3 to 5 days in a sealed container.

I thought I was going crazy and had to look up the name. Found that the original name was Pig Mania. When it was sold to Milton Bradley, it was renamed Pass the Pig.

Sounds adorable, I have a daughter who would flip out for a party with a pig. Make any pink drink you want and call it Pink Pig. Pink lemonade with rasberries and vodka or champagne has been a summer favorite at our house.

National Pig Day is March 1st. I used to do an entire day of activities in my classroom around the day. Love me the idea of a Pig Party too!
ETA: Our school had a fund raiser where kids would bring in change and the top three teachers had to kiss the pig. One of my most memorable kisses.

You don't think it's a bit gross that you're planning to serve pulled pork and have a live pig be the star attraction at your party? It turns my stomach to be honest.

Man. This makes me laugh! I can't stand hogs, and to think you can rent one for a party!  My neighbors sows got out one day. I walked out of my house and the biggest sow I had ever seen in my life was looking back at me. My neighbor told me I could keep it. Ah, no thanks! |

I still have my original pig mania game from high school (grad in 1982). Haven’t played in ages though. This made me smile. 😄 |

I don’t think it’s gross but I live in a fairly rural area there’s a dairy farm not far from my house. We are pretty familiar with where food comes from around here. I have a friend who is vegetarian and she will have plenty to choose from. |

I have a friend who is vegetarian and she will have plenty to choose from. I lived on a small family farm when I was a teen so I knew where food came from years ago. I can see your side of it. It wasn't until I started a whole foods, plant based diet (basically vegan)8 years ago that my eyes and my heart really opened and I understood the truth as I now see it. It will be interesting what your vegetarian friend thinks of the party idea. I love pigs. They are intelligent as dogs and such sweet creatures. |
