‘Drink-off set in San Diego
United Press International
[ SAN DIEGO — The San Diego
nvention and Visitors Bureau
iolds a “drink-off” Thursday to
Sleet the potion it hopes will put
|e city on the boozer’s map.
The bureau sponsored a contest
bartenders to create a city drink,
imething that would put San
jiego up there in the league with
ie “Singapore Sling and the
Manhattan.”
Sixty entries were received, the
ireau said Monday, but more than
two thirds were rejected because
they were too complicated, would
cost too much to make, or bore the
names of individuals.
The drink-off will feature the 17
finalists mixing candidates such as
the Baja Bullet and the Pink Padre.

With Rio Airways
New Joint Fares
Take to the air on Rio, your first step to everywhere,
and save when you connect with other major air
lines to your final destination. How do Rio’s Joint
Fares work? When two air carriers are involved in
your flight, Rio’s joint fares provide you with a
single fare which covers your trip from origination
to destination. Rio’s joint fare will be lower than the
combination of each airlines’ separate fares for
their share of the trip. Your one stop at the Rio ticket
counter takes care of tickets, flight connections and
baggage all the way!
