Pennsylvania legalizes sale of ready-to-drink cocktails in 12,400 businesses, generating $137M tax revenue.
Pennsylvania has legalized the sale of ready-to-drink cocktails, such as High Noon, in grocery stores, gas stations, and other licensed establishments. Previously, these beverages were only available at state-run stores. Governor Josh Shapiro's new law allows over 12,400 businesses to apply for permits to sell these cocktails, which must be under 12.5% alcohol and 16 ounces. The legislation is projected to generate $137 million in tax revenue over five years.
