What could be better than enjoying a professionally mixed beverage crafted with top-shelf liquor in the comfort of your own home? It may be a time of uncertainty for the foodservice industry, but one thing is certain – everyone loves a to-go cocktail.  

Carryout cocktails were a novelty born out of necessity, a way to keep floundering businesses afloat at the peak of the pandemic. But the practice proved to be a hit, and since spring 2020, over a dozen states have made to-go alcohol legal permanently. 

What’s more, many establishments, from fast food to fine dining, turned to takeout to supplement their revenue in lieu of an in-person experience. Now, with fluctuating business conditions driving guests to avoid in-person dining once again, it’s clear to-go – and to-go cocktails – are here to stay.  

If you haven’t already jumped on the carryout cocktail trend, now is the time. You already know that alcohol can significantly increase an order total, adding an additional revenue stream when every dollar matters. 

If sustainability is a concern, or if single-use plastic doesn’t fit the aesthetic of your establishment, consider Libbey’s newest collection of casually modern glass drinking jars and lids to elevate your takeout business.  

Available in three capacities – from an 8-ounce jar sized right for individual cocktails to a 32-ounce jar made for large batches – they’ll let you showcase your creative mixology in house and on the go. With a snug-fitting screw-top lid, these durable jars meet many state and local requirements for sealed takeout containers, keeping every ounce secure on the ride home.  

And if carryout cocktails aren’t an option? Use these jars and lids to share your signature desserts, mocktails and other specialties. With every jar, you’re sending home a piece of the in-person experience to your guests. 

Of all the innovations the last two years have brought to the foodservice industry, to-go seems to be the trend with the most staying power. Quenching your guests’ thirst for carryout cocktails will keep them connected to your brand and contribute to your success in 2022.
