When bar and restaurant dining rooms were closed to guests due to COVID-19 last spring, some of those businesses came up with clever ways to bottle their drinks for takeout. To our surprise, the bottles have stuck around, and now are more of an aesthetic trend than a business necessity. Here are three of our favorite bottled concoctions.
Foxglove

What’s inside: gin, brandy, almond orgeat, blackberry-sage simple syrup, lime juice and soda water

Hotel Nacional for Two
