Cocktails To-Go In Reno, Nevada

As the weather warms up, and the air starts to feel like summer, the craving for a delicious cocktail kicks in. There are so many great Reno-Local businesses providing amazing cocktails to-go1864 options.

Of course, we could make our own concoctions, but why go through all of the hassle and failed experimentation?

Creativity is Key

Over the last year, businesses have had to get creative, and bar/brewers/distilleries/etc have really brought their A-Game when it comes to libations to-go.  I have enjoyed martinis to-go, from the comfort of my living room or a friend’s backyard, on more than one occasion.

We always expect beer on the go, but a handcrafted cocktail that is ready to drink? Genius!

Lovely Libations

While life (and business) resumes a sense of normal, this hasn’t stopped the availability of festive drinks to take with you. What better way to celebrate the start of the “warm weather season” than by supporting locals with a lovely libation?!

Canned cocktails are a must-have for outdoor adventures, and 10 Torr makes a refreshing variety using their own distilled spirits.

1864 Tavern

Address: 290 California Ave, Reno, NV 89501
Phone: 775-329-1864

Celebrating the rich heritage of Nevada, 1864 Tavern crafts its cocktails with fresh ingredients. They have perfected not only the art of the cocktail but also the ease of online ordering.

You can choose your specific day/time for pick-up.  OR, make it a PARTY! 1864 Tavern offers the ability to order cocktails to go for large groups.

MUST TRY: Offering local twists on classics, 1864 Tavern cocktails are $16 and each container holds 2 drinks. I’m a big fan of the “Desert Rose” which not only looks gorgeous in a glass over ice, its refreshing hints of lavender syrup, muddled blueberries, lemon juice, and gin, always quench my thirst.

Death & Taxes

Address: 26 Cheney St, Reno, NV 89501
Phone: 775-324-2630

Death & Taxes offers an online Bottleshop.  And while they call it a Bottleshop, I think it’s more like a general store of all bar must-haves.  Not only does Death & Taxes offer their bottled specialty cocktails, but they also sell bitters, bourbon, whisky, scotch, rum, specialty bottles of liquor, and barware. If you’re looking for a one-stop-party place, Death & Taxes is it!

MUST TRY: Bottled Cocktails are offered in 375ml (serving 3) and 750ml (serving 6) options. All drinks come with detailed instructions about how cocktails should be served, what kind of glass is recommended, and garnish is included. The “DT Gold Rush” is one everyone over 21 may like.  This cocktail features old tub bourbon, meletti amaro, lemon, apple, caramel, and is garnished with caramel popcorn.

El Adobe Café

Address: 55 West Arroyo St, Reno, NV 89501
Phone: 775-327-4422

With recipes handed down 3 generations, El Adobe Café is a family favorite for both good food and amazing margaritas. The great thing about getting drinks to-go from El Adobe Café is that you can also get Family-Style meals to-go. Feed a family of four, six, or eight at a very affordable price!

MUST TRY: It goes without saying that margaritas and Mexican food go hand-in-hand. El Adobe Café boasts some of the best margs in town, and my family and friends happen to agree. Margaritas are offered on the rocks and blended, in a variety of flavors. And if margaritas aren’t your thing, El Adobe Café has stepped up its game and also offer Micheladas to-go too.
