HOUSTON Restaurants and bars with permanent food services facilities can now apply for a Mixed Beverage Permit to sell mixed drinks to-go and for delivery, according to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Under the waiver, businesses may sell drinks containing distilled spirits mixed and sealed by the business itself. Previously, mixed drinks to-go were prohibited under the Alcoholic Beverage Code. Operating during this pandemic has proved an incredible challenge for all segments of the alcoholic beverage industry, TABC Executive Director Bentley Nettles said. Prior to delivering a mixed alcoholic beverage or providing the beverage to-go, it must be in a closed or sealed container.
