Spilling a little antifreeze shoudn't have made it stop working. Just blow it dry with some air. If you really want to see if it works or not just take it off the car and take it to a local parts store. Most of them will test it for you right there on the spot and let you know if it is putting out enough volts.

dis-connect all battery terminals and get some brake parts cleaner spray can from local autoparts store and spray entire contents into alternator until can is empty then take a high pressure air hose and blow entire unit dry re-connect battery and start vehicle once vehicle starts dis connect positive terminal from battery if vehicle stays running you should be fine take to autoparts store and have them check voltage current from and to alternator most retail outlets will check voltage regulators starters and alternators for free

Start the car and with it running remove the positive terminal, if the car stays running then the alternator is good, if the car dies then it is bad.
