The annual event offers the opportunity to blow off steam during midterm week, while providing nonalcoholic beverages and other treats to reinforce healthy choices during the imminent semester getaway. The winners of this year's "mocktail" competition were "Caramel Apple Explosion," Megan Endres and Megan Gordon, first place; "Sweet Heat," Candy Fowler, Adam Hall and Logan Hinkley, second; and "Hot Kiss With Oh-La-La," Shellie Mierwald and Antonio Rodriguez, third.
