Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed a measure allowing restaurants to sell cocktails to-go with the purchase of food until February 2021 or until the state of emergency is lifted, whichever is later.
“With the governor’s signature, Massachusetts now joins 30 other states and D.C. in allowing cocktails to-go to support hospitality businesses,” said Jay Hibbard, VP-State Government RelationsDistilled Spirits Council. “Local businesses have been severely impacted by COVID-19, and cocktails to-go provide an economic lifeline as they work to recover. We applaud Gov. Baker for signing cocktails to-go into law and for supporting Massachusetts businesses.”
