The bill also provides that mixed beverage caterer and limited mixed beverage caterer licensees meet the required food-beverage ratio if their gross receipts from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages amount to at least 25 percent of their gross receipts from the sale of mixed beverages and food.
