Cocktails To Go Might Be Here To Stay Cocktails to go might be here to stay if State Senator Denny Hoskins of Warrensburg has his way. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting Missouri lawmakers are considering legislation for the upcoming session that would allow the sale of alcoholic beverages with carryout meals to continue once the pandemic emergency orders are lifted. State Senator Hoskins told the Post-Dispatch that two restaurants in his hometown were looking for a way to replace revenue after they had to close their dining rooms in the early days of the virus. “They were very excited when the governor issued the executive order that allowed restaurants to sell drinks to go."
