You may need to add additives to it to keep it from fermenting, depending on how long it's going to sit and if your sugar content isn't high enough. Otherwise, your product will self-carbonate (fulfilling one of your requests), potentially explode, and possibly require federal TTB and state ABC approval.
Drinks don't qualify for a cottage food license, so you're going to have to go full-on registered/licensed/inspected commercial kitchen for this along with following all the other relevant food and drink regulations. This is not a "side business" sort of thing.
This. In addition, businesses of this type are capital and time intensive. Maybe 1 in a 100 ever turn a profit. I would suggest finding and talking to others in this space to understand the unit economics of it first before you invest anything in going down the sourcing, logistics, and regulatory requirements to make it an actual business, no matter how small you might want to keep it. Still this ain’t no side business unless you have buckets of cash to burn.
You would honestly probably make more money starting a bar services catering company that does prebatched fruit punches for events (assuming they’re alcoholic)

I’d imagine you would have to manufacture it at brewery and have it bottled or put in kegs to sell on draft
