Battling Bartenders Highlight Holiday Safety
Local law enforcement handed out citations – of merit – to area bartenders today for concocting alcohol-free drinks honoring designated drivers.

Los Angeles-based mixologists squared off in the Battle of the Bartenders® to decide who could create the very best “mocktails” and promote responsible holiday hospitality. Their creations were judged by local food critics and officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and the California Highway Patrol.

Bartenders Battle to Raise DUI Awareness
Battling bartenders will descend on a downtown Los Angeles hotspot Tuesday to promote responsible holiday hospitality by competing to create the best alcohol-free mocktail.

Hosted by the Insurance Information Network of California® and L.A. LIVE,™ the Battle of the Bartenders® will team up the California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles Police Department, celebrity judges and bartenders from L.A. LIVE™ restaurants and bars.
