Where to Order 'Cocktails to Go' Today in LA

If you’re anywhere in the Southern California area, you’ve probably gotten alerts and emails from SoCal Edison to conserve energy to prevent rolling blackouts during the current heatwave. So we’re all stuck at home, trying to keep our AC’s down or off completely, melting and ready to call it a day and find some AC somewhere. The movie theaters are all shut down and there’s only so many department stores you can duck in and out of to grab as much air conditioning as possible without purchasing anything. If we can’t suck up the AC our indoor dining restaurants usually offer us, we can grab a cocktail to go and sit in the breezy shade somewhere. So here’s a roundup of what spots are offering to-go cocktails for your heatwave induced need for a refreshing libation.
