Six tips for cocktails to go Vol. II

We'll tell you where you can get delicious drinks on the go

Going for a walk and going on dates in the fresh air have been very popular since the outbreak of the pandemic. So what could be more natural than enjoying an after-work drink in the open air? Many bars and pubs are (still) offering their cocktails to go. We introduce you to six of them.

Naturburschen Flingern

The Naturburschen in Flingern may not have a liquor license, but they can still provide you with alcoholic drinks for on the go. There are twelve handcrafted long drinks and cocktails from Marc&Philipp in the chiller cabinet, including the Moscow Mule, classic Aperol Spritz and the Suffering Bastard. Instead of artificial flavors and concentrates, the start-up uses juices and purees freshly squeezed from the fruit. You can taste it. Cheers!

Casita Mexicana

Do you know what the absolute "must try" at Casita Mexicana is? Besides the Margarita Clásica, which of course always goes down well, it's the Passion Mule: refreshing like its big brother Moscow Mule, and also a little exotic thanks to the passion fruit puree. Available to enjoy on the terrace or in a to-go cup.

Drinks from the ship

Have you seen the restaurant boats on the Robert-Lehr-Ufer? They are moored below the Rheinpark. In corona-free times, you can sit there, enjoy a cool drink and let your gaze wander over the Rhine. And if the pandemic puts a spanner in the works, at least you can still enjoy a drink and the fantastic view while you take a stroll.

Düsseldorf Yacht Club

North of the Theodor Heuss Bridge, on the grounds of the Düsseldorf Yacht Club, Ahmed Badr from the Va Lontano restaurant runs a bar serving cool refreshments and small snacks. Like the sailors, his opening hours follow the sun and he is there for you until sunset. In addition to soft drinks and several types of beer, he offers a daily changing cocktail, including rhubarb spritzer with vodka and rosemary, Cuba libre or Lillet Blanc.

Sausalitos

The mojito originally comes from Havana. But the drink made from rum, sugar, lime juice, mint and soda water tastes at least as good with a view of the Rhine. No wonder it is one of the bestsellers at Sausalitos am Rhein. You can either enjoy it directly on the spacious terrace or stroll along the promenade with it.

Moments

For those of you who want to enjoy cocktails mixed by the master himself, the boxes from Düsseldorf's cocktail master Nic Shanker are just the thing. Not only will you find all the ingredients, from the glass to the decorations, but also the code to a video in which Nic explains exactly how to make the perfect cocktail.
