Province allows cocktails-to-go with take out meals
Pubs and licenced restaurants in B.C. are now allowed to sell pre-mixed drinks for takeout or delivery with the purchase of a meal.
The province says allowing ‘cocktails-to-go’ will provide an extra revenue stream for the businesses and give consumers more options.
“We’re continuing to open up new revenue-stream opportunities to help our hospitality sector rebuild in the wake of the pandemic,” Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, said. “At the same time, appropriate safeguards will be in place to protect public safety and prevent minors’ access to liquor.”
Farnworth said Ontario and Alberta have permitted cocktails-to-go since December 2020 and have not noted any public safety issues.
