Amended in the House prior to passage and now under Senate consideration, House Bill 2627 defines “ready-to-drink spirits products” as distilled spirits mixed with other beverages that may contain flavoring or coloring materials and other ingredients, that do not exceed twelve percent alcohol by volume and that are sold in the manufacturer’s original packaging and sets the tax rate $1.00/gallon (the current spiritous liquor tax is $3.00/gallon).
