The Hartford Marriott held a grand opening for the L Bar inside the downtown Hartford location on May 19. Members of the trade and guests gathered to celebrate. The bar featured craft cocktails created by Bartender Anthony DeSerio using Belvedere Unfiltered and newly released Belvedere Peach Nectar. The cocktails were served over hand-carved ice in mini Moscow Mule mugs. Belvedere Vodka is distributed in the state via Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI).
