It all began with a man and his beer.
In 1990, David Tindol bought a drive-thru beer store in Uvalde, Texas. His customers kept asking for the one thing he couldn’t legally sell them: frozen daiquiris. Most owners would have shrugged. David went looking for a way to say yes.
Thirty-plus years of saying yes
The drive-thru in Uvalde. David Tindol buys a drive-thru beer store. Customers want frozen daiquiris — but a beer & wine permit can’t pour liquor, and a liquor license is expensive, capped, and slow. The problem that built the company walks up to the window every single day.
Trial and tasting. David works the answer out the hard way: a wine-based alcohol crafted to taste like the real thing — strong enough for a real cocktail, legally still wine. No shortcuts, batch after batch, until customers couldn’t tell the difference.
Specialty Blends is born. The formula is right, and a company is founded on one promise: any business with a beer & wine permit can serve real cocktails.
Texas’ first & largest wine-based liquor producer — family-owned and operated in Dripping Springs for over 25 years, pouring at businesses from AT&T Stadium, Schlitterbahn, and Cinemark to hundreds of restaurants, bars, and daiquiri drive-thrus. And still the first winery in the country to import 100% agave wine from Mexico.
Why it delivers the real thing
A licensing advantage means nothing if the drink disappoints. That’s why every Specialty Blends product is built the way David built the first one — quality ingredients, recipes refined over 25 years, and one test that matters: guests who can’t tell it’s not the full-proof original.
