Houston’s Best Cocktail Kit is. . .

Even as many of them struggle to survive, Houston restaurants are doing their part to brighten these social distancing days with creative and easy to mix cocktail kits. With takeout and delivery-only restrictions the new norm — and alcohol pickup and takeout now allowed from Texas restaurants for the first time under a special pandemic waiver — bringing great drinks home has never been more satisfying.

A cocktail (kit) can help us get through these rough times. A perfectly teed up beverage kit with all those fancy fixings we don’t normally have on hand is the perfect way to add some pep to our self-isolating step.

There is no shortage in artisanal and masterful cocktail kits from Houston restaurants that make it easy to be a mixologist in your own home. But what’s the best cocktail to-go kit in Houston?

Vote in PaperCity‘s Cocktail Kits Challenge and decide. You can vote once per day, but there is no limit on the number of cocktail kits one can order (wallet and liver considerations notwithstanding).
