Question about JP LIcks

[ariwriter.livejournal.com]

JP Licks typically serves a Kahlua ice cream flavor. As I recall, they can blend it into a frappe. I don't think they have a liquor license, so how is a frappe not considered a mixed beverage if the ice cream has alcohol regardless of the minute level?

I'll be sure to spread the word. Thanks.

Quite apart from the issue that there isn't going to be enough alcohol in the frappe to meet the legal definition, the thing is that ice cream is already regulated by the state of Massachusetts, and so is milk.

So what an ice cream shop is doing when making you a frappe is combining one regulated item with another regulated item. The booze part has already been taken care of in the regulation of the ice cream.
