Make a weeknight meal at home or spring afternoon with friends on your deck more exciting with a cocktail from one of your favorite Lawrence establishments. It’s been almost a year since curbside drinks were authorized by the state to help bars and restaurants during the initial pandemic shutdown. And fortunately, it doesn’t look like that law is changing anytime soon.
Lawrence is not short on fun or tasty adult beverages and we reached out to a few places to get the details on their to-go drink menus. The reps we talked to indicated they weren’t selling as many cocktails to-go compared to last year but were happy to still have the avenue for sales. So if you’re in the mood for something different, consider swinging by on your way home. And no matter which drink you pick up, make it extra special by putting in a glass with a fancy straw or at least a wedge of fruit. (Salt for your margarita is a given.)
Spice up Taco Tuesday or Tostada Thursday with margaritas from Ta Co. To-go options are on the rocks only but you have your choice of flavors: traditional lime, banana, mango, peach, raspberry, strawberry, and wild berry.
Kristy Lopez, Ta Co. General Manager, says that the fresh-squeezed fruit and quality tequila is what makes their margaritas the best in town. You’ll want a friend or two to split these with as they come in a 32 ounce container. And if you're ready to up your at-home bartending skills, Lopez isn’t shy about sharing the recipe. “Honestly, I have no problem giving out the recipe… what we’re offering is pretty basic and simple if you’re using fresh and quality ingredients.” But for $15, it’s definitely worth a stop at Ta Co.
Lopez also teased some exciting new things for Ta Co. in the future including a daiquiri bar and possibly new location!
The Sandbar
Get any of The Sandbar’s specialty tropical drinks (even a Shark Attack!) to-go. For $6, get 20 ounces ready to drink (once you’re at home!) with a rubber duck and beads. You can also get 32 ounces for sharing (all you need to add is ice) if you’re still social distancing with a few friends.
Dave Johanning, Managing Partner, said they’ll keep the option around for the foreseeable future. To go drinks are “a nice option for when people can gather again”. Johanning also said their “fromosas" (frozen mimosas) could soon be making a comeback as the weather warms up.
