The Texas Legislature may do something so unprecedented this session that it’s almost impossible to describe how unprecedented it is — make restaurant cocktails to go, now a temporary fix, permanently legal. Why unprecedented? Because much of the state was dry well into the 1990s, and it’s still illegal to buy spirits at retail in parts of Oak Cliff. And this is the same state where, in 2018, the state’s liquor store trade association and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission joined forces to stop Walmart from opening liquor stores. But the new bill, with support from Gov. Greg Abbot, the Texas Restaurant Association and — even more surprising — the state’s liquor stores, stands more than an even chance of approval. If that happens, you’ll be able to order a margarita, martini or Old Fashioned from participating restaurants as long as you order food with the cocktail. And the restaurant can deliver the drink itself, use a delivery service like Favor or offer curbside pickup.
