Whether your choice of beverage is a Cosmo, Strawberry Mule, Margarita, or even a Manhattan, they can all now be made-to-order and carried out in one of our new plastic drink pouches. These drink containers are basically just Capri Suns for adults, but instead of a sugary juice concentrate inside, they’re filled with your favorite cocktail straight from the bar. These pouches are easy to transport, fun to drink, and also very Instagram-able (if you’re into that sort of thing).
Legalizing Take-out Alcohol in New York State
In an effort to help struggling restaurants and bars overcome the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, New York has legalized to-go alcohol sales throughout the state. The first official order legalizing these sales was issued on March 16th, 2020, and has been extended multiple times as the pandemic has continued into the Fall and Winter months. The latest extension is set to end on Friday, January 29th, although we wouldn’t be surprised if that changes again.
To-Go Alcohol at Trapper’s
We’re very excited to introduce these new pouches to our loyal Trapper’s customers and sincerely hope that to-go alcohol sales will be legalized at least through the remainder of the pandemic, if not for good. Most of all, though, we can’t wait to see all of you back at the bar on a busy night. If you’ve had the chance to try out one of our pouches, we’d love it if you shared a picture on Facebook or Instagram!
Please use these drink pouches responsibly, which includes waiting until you are home to consume your beverage of choice. These times are hard for all of us, if you’re struggling with alcohol abuse, we encourage you to call SAMHSA’s helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
