Sure.

The liqueurs are perfectly legal in both Texas and Oklahoma. (You've
already paid the taxes on them and can transport them and give them away.)

I don't know what Kvass is made from to know if it's legal to produce it
in either state.

By the letter of the law, it's probably illegal for you to transport the
Kvass to the site in both states.

In Texas, the letter of the law would consider entering the Kvass in an
A&S display/competition as being illegal because of too much criteria that
we generally don't meet. (Closed to the general public, no charge for
admission of the entry or attendance to the event [we might be able to
"fudge it" since we don't charge to see the A&S display *shrug*], and
written permission from TABC.)

In Texas, you aren't allowed to give the Kvass to your "guests" but in
Oklahoma you can. People at gatherings/feasts like this could be considered
your guests.

  NOTE: Everyone still has to be over 21. In Texas, you can give alcohol
  to your spouse or children if you are over 21, but only you can. (IE.
  Server hands it to the person over 21, they then hand it to the under
  21 person.) I don't know about Oklahoma nor if "legal guardian" counts.

Ciao,
