Momose was instrumental in getting the bill passed. She and other restaurant owners formed the “Cocktails for Hope” initiative last summer to advocate for the sale of pre-mixed cocktails to-go in Illinois. Attorney Sean O’Leary worked closely with the group and hopes to see the bill become permanent in the future. “We’re asking citizens out there to go contact your state representatives and senators and make sure this is a priority,” said O’Leary, the President of the O’Leary Law and Policy Group. "Restaurants are coming out of economic hibernation. Just because people can go back to the restaurants, doesn’t mean restaurants aren’t hurting. We need to give them every tool we can to prosper not only during a difficult time but what’s going to be a difficult recovery," said O'Leary.
