[Hardline]

A new place in my hometown just opened called Margarita Xpress.
I got the Big Gulp size to go and wow. This thing is strong.

The guy that pioneered that was out of Atlanta and started Daiquiris in the 80's with drive throughs with as many flavors as snow cones. He has yogurt cylinders set up to hold the ice and mix. He had to navigate the state and local laws because drive though cocktails sure as hell got the authorities' attention. But with his packaging, it was no different than buying anything in a bottle or can.

His first stop was Baton Rouge after Atlanta and we worked with him on his advertising/marketing and he ended up marrying and taking one of my best salespeople away.

Frozen daiquiris were the first of the slushy cocktails and an enterprising restaurant owner in Arlington, Mariano's, adapted that to Margarita's and is considered the father of the frozen Margarita. However, another Mexican restaurant in Dallas, Raphael's, laid claim to that.

I don't drink frozen drinks because I easily get brain freeze and when it thaws out the alcohol hits it and that's just too much for my fragile mental faculties.

To go? holy sheet!

It is based on the honor system and you will not start slugging it down before you get to your destination and the open container laws apply, if the state has one. Mississippi does not have one.

There are 11 states that do not have open container laws up to the federal specifications.

When I lived in Louisiana, the feds wanted the legal drinking age to be 21 across the board and Louisiana was 18. The state legislature commissioned a study as to which would cost the state more, losing the legal 18-20 year old drinkers or all of their Federal highway funding. They didn't reveal the findings but they did comply with the law.

Back in the day, if you were 17 and lived in AR, OK, TN, TX or MS, your destination for your 18th birthday was Louisiana. I grew up in AR, so Bossier City was mecca at 18.

If you think about it, what's the difference in selling cold beer and wine in C and grocery stores? People can crack the bottle on spirits at a liquor store.

Those 24 oz cans the C stores sell in the iced vat, I do not think people are waiting until they get home to pop it.

There’s something quite different about going through a drive thru and buying alcohol. I have a hard time believing folks are eating their chicken fingers and fries in their cars, but waiting to get home to drink their margaritas.

There's a place in Arlington, not far from the Cowboys stadium, that sells daiquiris to go: https://www.goodtimesdaiquiris.com

They wrap the drink in Saran Wrap so it is "sealed"

I would add the fact that these margaritas and daiquiris are ice based which is all the more reason to consume while driving.

I don't think they are, I have seen people pop a top on the way to their vehicle.

They sell chilled beer, wine and ready to drink cocktails in many places. They wrap these cocktails so it's not like buying a soda at Burger King.

Could not agree more, I do think people do not wait to get home. I mean, who can resist digging into the fries when you get them?

We have a place here that does this. All the drinks are wine based. There is no rum or tequila in them.
