HB 4077 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the sale of spirit coolers by certain alcoholic beverage permittees.

HB 4077 defines "spirit coolers" as low-alcohol mixed drinks (0.5%-17% alcohol by volume) containing distilled spirits blended with water, juice, or flavorings. It allows wine-only package stores to purchase and sell these beverages during the same hours permitted for malt beverages. The bill specifically affects licensed wine-only stores by expanding their allowable inventory to include spirit coolers, which were previously not permitted under their licenses. It does not change alcohol content limits for other beverages but clarifies the legal definition and sales rules for this specific product category. The bill is currently pending in the Licensing & Administrative Procedures committee.
