If your bar cart supply is dwindling, there are plenty of excellent services that now deliver alcohol, including high-end spirits and wine from around the world, directly to your front door. Many of these websites and apps even partner with local stores, such that you're able to support your corner liquor store without leaving your house. Here's how you can order in alcohol using these nine services:
Drizly
Drizly’s access to specific, high-quality spirits, wine, and beer, and their easy-to-navigate interface set them apart as an alcohol delivery service. Beer drinkers can easily shop for lagers or IPAs on Drizly, while wine drinkers shop by region or varietal. As for liquor, their whiskey section is three-fold: Bourbon, Scotch, and Rye, and their mezcal selection is expansive. Drizly also has bitters, simple syrup, and artisanal mixers so you can whip up your own cocktail couch-side. You can shop online or through their app.
Postmates
As Postmates aptly puts it, “We deliver more than dinner.” Postmates will go to your favorite grocery or liquor store and deliver in under an hour. Visit their Alcohol Delivery tab for wine, beer, and liquor delivery in 23 cities, from Raleigh to Palm Springs to Minneapolis to Brooklyn. On their website, you can find Moët & Chandon, sakes and soju, and liqueurs like Triple Sec or Aperol.

You can also order a one-time Vinebox for $87, which features five reds and four whites.
MiniBar
MiniBar Delivery partners with local stores in 17 states to deliver wine, beer, and liquor.

They also specifically partner with brands like Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Crown Royal, and Veuve Clicquot.
