A 6726 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Permits the sale of tonic water, bitters, maraschino cherries and dealcoholized wine at liquor stores

This bill permits liquor stores in New York to sell four specific non-alcoholic items: tonic water, bitters, maraschino cherries, and dealcoholized wine. It amends existing liquor store regulations to explicitly include these items as permissible sales, meaning they no longer count as "engaging in another business" when sold at licensed premises. The change applies directly to liquor and wine wholesalers and retailers who already hold licenses under New York's alcoholic beverage control law. This policy update clarifies that these items may be sold alongside alcoholic beverages without requiring additional licensing or violating current business restrictions.
