Before the pandemic, only 12 states allowed direct-to-consumer deliveries of alcoholic beverages. However, as local governments support struggling food businesses, many governors have signed executive orders temporarily allowing restaurants, bars and other establishments with alcohol permits to extend their alcohol offerings beyond the dining room.

Now, takeout and delivery of alcoholic drinks has become the temporary norm for the vast majority of states. In 23 states, these allowances now include mixed alcoholic drinks. Many businesses hope that these temporary changes will extend into the future and become a permanent solution to new post-pandemic consumer behaviors.

NECTAR Cocktails-to-go

Late last month, when Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed a Bill allowing the temporary sale of cocktails-to-go from bars, restaurants or hotels with a liquor license, it was a game-changer for many businesses.

NECTAR Restaurant and Lounge is one of those businesses. NECTAR is an award-winning restaurant in the Philadelphia Suburb of Berwyn. Since the cocktails-to-go bill was signed, NECTAR has experienced tremendous success with its signature cocktails-to-go. Its cocktails are pre-batched in 16oz Mason jars, providing two servings per jar, and are available in flavors such as Mango Ginger, Blood Orange, Grapefruit Lychee and Zen. All you have to do is pour over ice, shake and strain into your favorite martini glass.

If you are looking for mason jars to serve your cocktails-to-go business, BOB offers a 16oz Mason jar and a 26oz Mason jar. Or, if you want to check out a sample before you order, you can request a sample jar here.
