✔ Updated · Updated list: which alcohol delivery apps operate now (Drizly closed in 2024)
Drizly is gone, so the best alcohol delivery apps today are Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, Gopuff, Minibar, Saucey, 7NOW and Total Wine. Here's which one I'd open first, and what to know before you order (you must be 21+).
The best alcohol delivery apps in the US right now are Uber Eats (which absorbed Drizly when Uber shut it down in March 2024), DoorDash, Instacart, Gopuff and Minibar Delivery, with Saucey and 7NOW great for speed where they operate. Availability depends on your state and zip code, and every app checks a valid ID showing you are 21 or older at the door.
- Best all-rounder: Uber Eats or DoorDash.
- Best with groceries: Instacart.
- Best alcohol-only app: Minibar Delivery.
- Fastest where available: Gopuff, Saucey and 7NOW.
Is Drizly Still Around?
No. Uber, which bought Drizly in 2021, shut the app down in March 2024 and folded alcohol delivery into Uber Eats. If you still have the old Drizly app on your phone, it won't take orders. I cover the details in what happened to Drizly.
The 8 Best Alcohol Delivery Apps Right Now
I checked that each of these is operating as of October 2026. None of them pay us to be here, and coverage changes often, so always type in your address before you get excited.
1. Uber Eats
Uber shut Drizly down in March 2024 and moved alcohol ordering into Uber Eats. You get beer, wine and spirits from local liquor stores and grocery stores, often in under an hour, in the same app you already use for takeout.
2. DoorDash
DoorDash lists alcohol from liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores and some restaurants, depending on your state. It's my go-to when I want snacks and drinks in one order.
3. Instacart
If you already order groceries, Instacart lets you add beer, wine and sometimes spirits from participating stores in the same cart. Same-day delivery is common, and you can schedule a slot.
4. Gopuff
Gopuff delivers from its own local warehouses, so it's quick where it operates, usually around 30 minutes. The range is mainstream beer, wine, seltzers and spirits, plus ice, mixers and snacks.
5. Minibar Delivery
Minibar is alcohol-first: it connects you with local liquor stores for beer, wine, spirits and party supplies, with on-demand or scheduled delivery. A good pick for a broader bottle selection.
6. Saucey
Saucey runs its own alcohol delivery in a limited number of metro areas and is known for quick drop-offs, often around 30 minutes. If it serves your city, it's very handy for last-minute orders.
7. 7NOW
7-Eleven's 7NOW app delivers beer, wine (where allowed), snacks, ice and drinks from local stores, with delivery in about 30 minutes in many areas.
8. Total Wine & More
The Total Wine app lets you order from your local store for in-store pickup and, in many areas, same-day delivery. Great for stocking up for a party when you know exactly which bottles you want.
Alcohol Delivery Apps Compared
Fees, minimums and delivery times change by city and by store, so I've kept this to what each app is best at.
| App | Best for | Where it delivers | Fee tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uber Eats | Best all-rounder (and where Drizly went) | Wide US coverage; check your address in the app | Uber One members can get reduced or $0 delivery fees on eligible orders |
| DoorDash | Widest choice of nearby stores | Many states and cities; alcohol depends on local law | DashPass can lower fees on eligible orders |
| Instacart | Adding wine or beer to the weekly grocery run | Varies by state and store | Instacart+ can waive delivery fees on larger orders |
| Gopuff | Fast basics and party supplies | Selected US cities | Pricing is set by Gopuff, not a store |
| Minibar Delivery | The closest thing to the old Drizly | Many US cities | Store prices and minimums vary |
| Saucey | Speed in big metros | Limited metro areas only | Check the app for your zip code |
| 7NOW | Late-night convenience-store runs | Selected 7-Eleven markets | 7-Eleven Gold Pass can cut delivery fees |
| Total Wine & More | Big selection and planned orders | Delivery depends on state and store | Store pricing; delivery fee applies |
Which App Should You Use?
- Last-minute party top-up: Gopuff, Saucey or 7NOW if they serve you, otherwise Uber Eats or DoorDash.
- Weekly shop plus a bottle of wine: Instacart, so it all arrives together.
- Specific bottles or a bigger selection: Minibar Delivery or Total Wine.
- Food and drinks in one order: DoorDash or Uber Eats, where restaurants and stores are allowed to sell alcohol.
- Sending a gift bottle to another state: look at a licensed shipping retailer instead of an on-demand app, since same-day apps only deliver locally.
What to Know Before You Order
- You must be 21+. The driver scans or checks a valid government photo ID at the door, and the person named on the order needs to be there.
- No ID, no drop-off. If nobody 21+ with ID answers, or the recipient appears intoxicated, the driver returns the alcohol and you may still pay fees.
- Laws vary by state. Some states or counties limit alcohol delivery, spirits, delivery hours or Sunday sales, so the same app can show different options in different places.
- Expect extra costs. Delivery fees, service fees and a tip usually add to store prices. Compare the checkout total, not just the bottle price.
- Plan around store hours. Delivery stops when local alcohol sales stop, even if the app is still open for food.
Want to Deliver Alcohol as a Driver?
Several people find this page looking for alcohol delivery driver apps. DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart and Gopuff all let drivers handle alcohol orders in areas where it's allowed, but you generally need to be 21 or older and follow each app's ID-check rules. Check the driver requirements in your state in each company's driver app before you sign up.
My Easy Hosting Picks (Plus a Mocktail)
Once the delivery lands, here's what I actually make with it. For a crowd-pleasing cocktail, shake up an espresso martini, or grab a mixed case and work through my guide to White Claw flavors.
And always have something great without alcohol for drivers, kids and anyone skipping a drink. My virgin sangria mocktail is fruity, pretty and makes a whole pitcher, and the Shirley Temple is a guaranteed hit with younger guests.
Frequently Asked Questions
What app delivers alcohol now that Drizly is gone?
Uber Eats took over after Uber shut Drizly down in March 2024. DoorDash, Instacart, Gopuff, Minibar Delivery, Saucey, 7NOW and Total Wine also deliver beer, wine and spirits in many areas. Enter your address in each app to see what is available near you.
Which alcohol delivery app is fastest?
Gopuff, Saucey and 7NOW are usually the fastest where they operate, often around 30 minutes. Uber Eats and DoorDash are often under an hour. Actual times depend on your city, the store and how busy drivers are.
Do you need ID for alcohol delivery?
Yes. You must be 21 or older and show a valid government photo ID when the order arrives. Drivers scan or check the ID, and they will not leave alcohol with anyone under 21 or anyone who appears intoxicated.
Can you get alcohol delivered in every state?
No. Alcohol delivery rules are set by states and sometimes counties, so some areas allow only beer and wine, limit delivery hours or do not allow delivery at all. That is why the same app shows different options in different places.
Does DoorDash deliver alcohol?
Yes, in many areas. DoorDash shows alcohol from liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores and some restaurants where state and local law allow it. You will need to be 21 or older and show valid ID at the door.
