Battle of Bottles
ATLANTA’S HOTTEST COCKTAIL COMPETITION IS BACK!
Who doesn’t love an expertly crafted cocktail? We are so lucky to be living in a city that has a huge number of spots to sip on some creative and delicious cocktails. Mixologists have gotten so creative with the kinds of ingredients they put in cocktails lately. That’s why I’m so excited for the Battle of the Bottles cocktail competition.
Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau’s (ACVB) third annual cocktail contest, “Battle of the Bottles,” is under way again. A bevy of top Atlanta restaurant mixologists compete for their creation to be crowned the best cocktail in Atlanta. Atlanta residents are encouraged to visit the participating restaurants, try the various cocktails and vote for their favorite signature sips.

The hope is that this diverse cross-section of opinions can help guide decisions that will affect the future of this important food.
Mediterranean Diet Month
This month-long promotional campaign, created in 2009 by Oldways and the Mediterranean Foods Alliance, generates awareness of the delicious foods and amazing health benefits associated with the Mediterranean Diet and its vibrant lifestyle through media, supermarkets, health professionals and social networking. Each year, more people discover the fabulous flavors and accessible, affordable foods that make up this remarkable way of eating.
