Allows craft distilleries to sell mixed drinks and mixed drink ingredients for consumption off the licensed premises; authorizes direct shipping by craft distilleries.
This bill would allow New Jersey craft distilleries to sell mixed drinks (like cocktails) and cocktail ingredients for off-premises consumption (e.g., take-home sales), and to ship directly to consumers. It specifically amends licensing rules to expand what craft distilleries can offer, moving beyond current restrictions that limit sales to on-site consumption or specific retail channels. The change directly affects licensed craft distilleries by giving them new sales and shipping flexibility. The bill does not alter existing brewery license rules but creates new provisions for distillery operations under the state’s alcohol licensing framework.
