CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina lawmakers are considering allowing restaurants to sell mixed alcoholic drinks to-go while they remain closed to dine-in customers during the coronavirus pandemic.
WTVD reported that the proposal was submitted Tuesday and would allow restaurants to sell up to two mixed drinks per food order for takeout and delivery.
According to the proposal, the drinks would need to be sold “in a container with a secure lid or cap and in a manner designed to prevent consumption without removal of the lid or cap.”
Customers would not be able to purchase a mixed cocktail drink without the purchase of a food item.
If passed, this would only be an option during the pandemic.
