Margarita delivery services hit NYC to get us through coronavirus

Lockdown just got a lot lusher.

Tanteo Tequila and The Wayland bar in the East Village are launching a new margarita delivery service — and will give part of the proceeds to the devastated hospitality industry.

The $99 packages, sold on CocktailsInMotion, include a 750ml bottle of Tanteo Tequila expression (Blanco, Jalapeno, or Chipotle for week one), Artisanal Margarita Mix (kale + ginger, hibiscus grapefruit, and mango passionfruit), dehydrated fruit wheel garnishes and Mexican Street Papas.

The tequila company assures us that the price averages out to $7 a margarita.

Some of the cash will go to The Lee Initiative, which provides free meals and essential household supplies to furloughed hospitality workers in the city and nationwide.

Fresh beer, made right here in NYC, getting loaded up for delivery. We’ve just finished our third full week delivering beer in NYC, and while it’s been a lot of work (and a steep learning curve), we couldn’t be more grateful for the support from NYC during this extremely challenging time for any small business. Please continue to support your local businesses in the coming weeks whenever you can, and stay positive. Same Day Delivery is ready to go! Ordering link in profile. #raiseyourtorch #nycbeer
