Check Out Mocktail Recipes From the Protect & Serve Tavern

The Protect & Serve Tavern returned Saturday afternoon to the Great Lakes Mall for its 18th year.

Local police and judges served nonalcoholic drinks and snacks to shoppers as a way to encourage them to have a safe and sober holiday season.

They also offered recipes for some nonalcoholic mocktails, made by local police departments.
