While the clear winning benefit of statewide stay-at-home orders is flattening the curve of COVID-19, the best silver lining has to be the allowance for take-out cocktails. From high-end cocktails to gallons of margaritas, there’s a quarantine cocktail for everyone’s taste. They’re perfect for your virtual happy hour gathering. Here are some of our local favorites.
503W
Sealed in pouches, 503W is offering batches of cocktails, with two, four, eight or even 10 servings. Pick from their popular Black Walnut Old-Fashioned, or an orange 24 Karrot cocktail made with organic carrot juice, gin, cucumber, lime and sugar.

300 Days of Shine
While 300 Days of Shine is doing cocktails to go along with bottle sales of their delicious moonshine, they have a fun treat: Slushes to go. These come with the booze on the side, so you can mix the two together or enjoy separately. Either way, we’ll cheers to that! And props to the Monument distiller for making hand sanitizer during the pandemic as well.
