This cheerful holiday party at [AV] Irvine celebrating the “Eat, Drink and Be Merry” issue featured drink samples from local breweries like Evans Brewing Co, food from delicious Orange County restaurants and a bartending contest using Tito's Handmade Vodka in their recipes. Proceeds from the event benefited I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue. All photos by Ed “The Animal” Carrasco.
