Answer: We will first identify a roll of aluminum foil’s muktzeh status. An object that is not fit for use on the present Shabbat is muktzeh. If it is a usable "utensil," but its main use is for forbidden purposes, it is a relatively lenient form of muktzeh called kli shemelachto l’issur. If it is not yet a utensil (or a food) and making it one would require a Shabbat violation or a pre-Shabbat designation for permitted usage, it is the more severe muktzeh machamat gufo (intrinsic muktzeh) (see Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 308:38; Rama ad loc. 7).
Aluminum foil is not used when on its roll; rather, one cuts a piece to size for its present purpose, which is then a usable utensil. Since it is forbidden to cut such a piece (see Orchot Shabbat 19:125), we view the roll according to its present stage – as an unusable object (ibid.). (A roll of toilet paper, though, is not muktzeh (ibid. 126) because when there are no viable alternatives, there are halachic ways to use the toilet paper (see Living the Halachic Process I, C-16)).
When a muktzeh item rests on an otherwise non-muktzeh object, the "base" can take on the muktzeh item’s status, based on a concept called bassis l’davar ha’asur (Shulchan Aruch, OC 310:7). There are several conditions for the status of bassis to exist: 1) The muktzeh was on the base when Shabbat entered (ibid.; Mishna Berura 266:26). 2) The muktzeh was placed with the intention that it would remain there on Shabbat in a significant manner (Shulchan Aruch, OC 309:4; see Shemirat Shabbat K’hilchata 20:520). 3) The muktzeh item(s) is more "important" than non-muktzeh items that also rest there (Shulchan Aruch, OC 310:8).
From your description, it sounds like conditions 1 and 2 are met, so the question depends on whether the aluminum foil (and other muktzeh items) is more important than the non-muktzeh. In this context, a kli shemelachto l’issur is treated as non-muktzeh. Since such items may be moved for usage purpose and when they are in the way (ibid. 308:3), the drawer may be opened to make available the objects you wish to use and then closed.

Usually, when a muktzeh item does not make the base a bassis, we should still shake off the muktzeh before further moving the base, if this is feasible (Shulchan Aruch, OC 310:8). However, it is not feasible to simply shake out a cabinet drawer. While moving the muktzeh aluminum foil along with the drawer seems regrettable, no halachic construct forbids keeping it in the drawer when it does not create a bassis (see Orchot Shabbat 19:(386)).
Therefore, if the aluminum foil and other fully muktzeh items are a minority in importance, you may pull out the drawer on Shabbat.
