Spirit infused beverages; permit sale by retailers

SB 202 defines "spirit infused beverages" as ready-to-drink mixed liquor drinks containing no more than 7% alcohol by volume. It creates a new retail license category allowing stores to sell these beverages both on-premise (like restaurants) and off-premise (like grocery stores), with a specified license fee. The bill also requires retailers to display these beverages in designated areas, addressing a gap in current Alabama law that previously lacked specific regulations for low-alcohol mixed drinks. This directly affects retailers seeking to sell these products, as they would need the new license and follow display rules.
