TUCSON (KVOA) What was meant to be a lifeline for bars and restaurants during the pandemic is now a permanent fixture in the food and beverage industry.
Arizona now joins 20 other states in offering cocktails to-go. Governor Doug Ducey signed HB 2773 into law Friday. He had issued an executive order when the pandemic started which allowed restaurants to sell cocktails to-go. It was intended to help restaurants generate some income.
The order was eventually overturned by the courts. This is going to help out everything from your little mom and pops to the big chains as well as we expect to see participation in to-go cocktails in every facet of the industry, said Grant Krueger of Union Public House.
