Ricketts signs order allowing mixed drink carryout

Governor Pete Ricketts issued a new executive order, March 26, allowing restaurants and bars to provide mixed drinks with lids for takeout.

"Our restaurants and bars have been some of the hardest hit businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Gov. Ricketts. "I've signed an executive order to help them by allowing takeout for pre-made cocktails and other alcoholic beverages as long as they are sealed with a lid."

A copy of the executive order is included.
