Starting Monday, United is selling mini booze bottles in economy class on domestic flights of more than 300 miles "in response to the feedback we've received from both customers and flight attendants," according to a statement from the airline.
"The ability to offer a complete food and beverage menu is something that we know is important to our customers," United said.
The airline said new contactless payment technology has enabled it to safely resume beverage service. United resumed serving beer and wine, and introduced hard seltzer, in economy class in June.
The move to restore liquor comes as incidents of violent and belligerent passengers on US airlines continue to rise.
Flight crews have reported more than 5,100 cases of unruly passengers to the Federal Aviation Administration since the start of the year. The agency has said many cases are fueled by alcohol.
Southwest Airlines says it continue the suspension of alcohol sales until at least next year.
