Six tips for cocktails to go

Our favorites for delicious drinks

Some of you may have gin or rum in your bar at home. But who can mix a deliciously tangy Mai Tai, let alone an authentic Long Island Iced Tea? Fortunately, we have excellent bars in Düsseldorf that also offer or even deliver their drinks to go in lockdown. 

Grand Pu Bar

You can't enjoy the cool atmosphere of the Grand Pu Bar at the moment, but you can enjoy the unusual and award-winning creations of bartender Daniel Kroschinsky. His recipe for delicious drinks: home-made ingredients, including his own roasted coffee. If you order here, the taste explosions are delivered to your door in milk bottles.  

Bar Ellington

At Bar Ellington, Robert Potthoff mixes cocktails without chichi and colorful umbrellas, but with outstanding taste. This year, the Falstaff Barguide awarded him 47 out of 50 points. On request, you can pick up the drinks including nut mix and ice.

Cassette

As long as the lockdown is in effect, Kassette offers a cocktail delivery service. The drinks are freshly mixed in the bar, filled into custom-made bottles and delivered to customers within a radius of around five kilometers. To ensure that the drinks are also a feast for the eyes, you will also receive decorations such as caramelized nuts, basil or dried fruit, along with an explanation.

Squarebar

In the Squarebar, old jam jars are piled high with exotic ingredients such as pointed morels in cognac or seaweed in aquavit. Is owner David Rippen a sorcerer? No, he is a modern bartender who harks back to the beginnings of bar culture. Depending on the season, Daniel combines vegetables, fruit or herbs with alcohol to create delicacies such as the beet tequila or a cocktail called "Tu ma' lieber die Möhrchen". Curious? The drinks are available to take away from Thursday to Sunday.

Boothbyʼs Bar

Boothbyʼs Bar sees itself as a classic bar with a cozy living room atmosphere. As you can't visit this living room at the moment, the drinks are coming to your home. In the form of a cocktail or gin and tonic Advent calendar.

Sassafras

Sassafras, located in Oberkassel, has also switched to out-of-home sales. Bottled drinks such as the London Mule or the Sassafari made with rum, triple sec, passion fruit and lime are available here. Homemade mulled wine and Early Christmas Punch are available for collection from Wednesday to Saturday to keep you warm.
