All Natural, Gluten Free Vodka Hits the State through Murphy Distributors

Branford, CT - Celiac disease is the consumption of a protein called gluten (present in wheat, barley, and rye) that causes the body's immune system to attack and damage the small intestine. Presently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet.

Since countless food items, including alcoholic beverages, are produced with wheat, barley or rye ingredients, choices were very limited. But now, just in time for summer parties, there's a new vodka in town!

Murphy Distributors, located in Branford is the exclusive distributor of the gluten-free, all natural Lotus Vodka, imported from Italy. Lotus Vodka is a fine mixing vodka with a natural base and warm and inviting aroma of subtle citrus and herbs.
