Recipes for the Road

The Florida Department of Transportation District Two’s Community Traffic Safety Program is excited to present our 28th Annual Recipes for the Road. For over a quarter of a century, we have worked to make a positive impact and help keep people safe on our roads during the holidays. This program focuses on education and outreach strategies to create safer communities. It is designed to work with local partners, including law enforcement, team members, restaurants, and bars, to promote responsible alcohol service and personal use at events and when hosting parties. The campaign supports safe transportation choices that encourage alternatives to driving while impaired.

Annual Recipes for the Road Book with Non-Alcoholic Drink Recipes

This year, we have a 12-page Recipes for the Road book available as a digital flipbook, a printable PDF download, and a limited quantity printed edition.

Celebrate Safely and Recipes for the Road

Recipes for the Road booklets and Celebrate Safely posters are available for District Two team members to distribute throughout our 18 Northeast Florida counties. Click here to place your order- while supplies last.

We thank our Traffic Safety Team members, partners, and volunteers who continue to promote traffic safety. They share our passion and goal of reducing alcohol-related traffic crashes and fatalities on our roadways. These people and organizations have been instrumental in the success of our Celebrate Safely, Designate a Driver program and the Recipes for the Road booklet!  

Be Responsible – Do Not Drink and Drive

Thanksgiving through the New Year is a fun and festive time of year. There are many celebrations, family gatherings, festivals, football pre-game tailgating, and holiday parties throughout this fall and winter. They are all best enjoyed when we celebrate responsibly. Please always drive safely and sober.

The FDOT District Two Community Traffic Safety Program has produced unique mocktails and shared nonalcoholic drinks from local Northeast Florida restaurants and bars since 1998.

Seasonal Mocktails, Recipes, and Traffic Safety Tips

We hope you watch, share, and enjoy our alcohol-free drink recipes, appetizer and meal recipes, and safe ABCs of partying tips below. EVEN ONE DRINK of alcohol can slow your reflexes and reaction time, reduce your ability to see clearly, and make you less alert. Be a part of a safety culture focused on preventing injuries and fatalities on our roads.
