NYC Bars and Restaurants Are Getting Creative With Cocktails to Go

Bars like Hunky Dory in Brooklyn are selling hot and cold Irish coffees as well as house cocktails like the Smoky Mountain Songbird, a mix of mezcal, madeira, turmeric, and lemon. Dante in the West Village offers all of its award-winning cocktails and full a-la-carte menu to go, pick-up, and delivery. Other NYC bars such as PDT, Attaboy, Middle Branch, the NoMad, Grand Army, and Leyenda are also offering the service, reported The New York Times.

@parlorcoffee ✔️ @teeling_whiskey ✔️ @ecoproducts to-go cups ✔️✔️ 💚💚💚 From 3PM TO 8PM, I’ll be making Irish coffees to-go! Hot and cold available … w both regular whip and OAT whip available. 👇👇👇 I’ll have a sign posted “one in/one out”, and please bring cash or have Venmo ready. Don’t be offended if I make you stand as far away from the bar as possible. While our government has given us a little leeway to try and eek out an existence… we need to still be cautious and practice safe distancing.

To-go cocktails will not, however, sustain the bar and restaurant industry for very long. In the event of a short lockdown, it may be enough to keep them afloat, but a more prolonged shutdown will likely prove devastating to business owners and their staff.
