$aliquots = $this->Aliquot->find('all', array(

'Specimen.draw_date'

Alternatively, if you want the checkboxes grouped - say by specimen
type, then use this:
$this->set('aliquots', Set::combine($aliquots,
'{n}.Aliquot.id',
array(
'{0} [{1} / {2}]', // Format
'{n}.Aliquot.additive', // Field #0
'{n}.Specimen.type', // Field #1
'{n}.Specimen.draw_date' // Field #2
),
'{n}.Specimen.type'
));
// view
echo $form->input('Aliquot', array('options' => 'aliquots', 'multiple'
=> 'checkbox'));
