Cocktails to-go now legal in Texas

Governor Greg Abbott recently signed a bill permitting the sale and delivery of mixed beverages from restaurants and bars, so Texans can now enjoy their favorite cocktails to-go. The law, which took effect on September 1, 2021, permits licensed restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages to consumers who order meals for takeaway or delivery in tamper-proof packaging.

For the restaurant and bar sector, which has been severely impacted by the pandemic, this new regulation is a game-changer. It enables them to increase their revenue sources and draw in additional clients. Consumers who want to sip their preferred beverages at home have a practical choice according to the law.

The sale of cocktails for takeout is subject to some limitations, though. The beverages must be offered for sale in sealed containers that are prominently marked with the name of the business and the drink’s ingredients. A warning label noting that the beverage is alcoholic and should not be drunk by minors must also be included on the box.

Tavour does ship to Texas, for those who are curious. Deliveries of beer are made by Tavour to a few states, including Texas. To be clear, Tavour exclusively delivers beer; it does not offer other alcoholic beverages like cocktails or wine.

You must use a registered store or distributor to send alcohol to a friend in Texas. Alcohol cannot be sent directly to a consumer in Texas. The distributor or retailer will check the recipient’s age to make sure they are of legal drinking age.

Although there are limitations, it is feasible to mail alcohol by USPS. Alcohol can only be shipped via USPS under specific circumstances, such as when it comes from authorized producers, distributors, or retailers. In addition, the sender must abide by all local, state, and federal laws and the product must be properly labeled.

Finally, sending alcohol as a gift is possible, but there are restrictions. All local, state, and federal regulations governing the shipment of alcohol must be followed by the sender of the gift. The recipient must also be of legal drinking age and be able to legally accept the cargo in their state for them to do so.

In conclusion, customers and the restaurant and bar business both benefit from Texas’ authorization of cocktails for takeout. When transporting alcohol, it is crucial to adhere to the limitations and limits imposed by the legislation as well as all local, state, and federal laws.
