DIY Cocktail Packages and Takeout Cocktails
To make your virtual happy hours truly special, bars around town are offering takeout cocktails and DIY packages. One of my fave offerings is Coyo Tacos gallon of pre mixed margaritas for $39.99 (about 10-12 margaritas). Serious partying. The Alley at the Betsy Hotel in South Beach has pre batched cocktails too, which vary by the day. And then of course, the parent company of famous mixology outpost Broken Shaker, Bar Lab, is bringing back its most popular cocktails that they’ve made throughout the years. At home cocktail packages for $35. include 4 non-alcoholic cocktail pouches. Each mix yields enough for two cocktails. All you do is add alcohol, shake and you’re ready to go! You just email them Order@bar-lab.com. which cocktails you would like with you name, phone number, and address for delivery. Ball & Chain in Little Havana also has both kits and to go orders as well as The Citadel’s rooftop bar.

I love that you included the Ironside Pizza kit! We wanted pizza from them this past Saturday but the Uber Eats and Doordash apps weren’t communicating with their systems. So the woman working personally delivered the pizzas to us (it was raining!) and she even called a little later to make sure everything was up to standard. Great food and great service.
Great ideas! Got another one for ya….South Florida-based Schnebly Redland’s Winery is offering wine tastings via Zoom.
Love the blog!
Good tip, thank you.
