Which of the following best defines a mixed beverage?

• A. A drink made by mixing liquor with other ingredients, sold for take-out.
• B. A drink made by combining beer with fruit juice.
• C. A drink made by mixing liquor with other ingredients, sold for on-premises consumption without a permit.
• D. A drink made by mixing liquor with other ingredients, sold for on-premises consumption with a permit.

Answer: (D)

A mixed beverage is a drink that uses liquor (distilled spirits) mixed with other ingredients and is intended to be consumed on the licensed premises, with a valid permit to sell. That’s why the correct option describes a drink made by mixing liquor with other ingredients and sold for on-premises consumption with a permit. The other scenarios don’t fit: taking a mixed drink off the premises isn’t allowed in this context; using beer with juice involves a beer beverage, not liquor; and selling without a permit isn’t permissible.
