BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- Lytos, a Baltimore-based company that specializes in making a patent pending, gluten-free premium vodka with added electrolytes, announced today it has expanded sales into liquor stores and bars in Washington D.C. and Delaware.

Lytos, pronounced 'light-toes', is manufactured in Columbia, Md. Originally sold throughout greater Baltimore and the Eastern Shore, this unique vodka is being sold in bars and restaurants in Washington D.C. and Delaware with an aim to expand sales into other states.

"I'm very pleased to see the company expand into a neighboring state and the District of Columbia," said Billy Fanshawe, Founder of Lytos. "The next goal is to look toward major spirit markets like New York, Florida, Arizona, and California."

After debuting in November 2020, Lytos Vodka is now sold in roughly 400 bars, restaurants, and liquor stores throughout Maryland, Washington D.C., and Delaware. Lytos is the first ever vodka marketed and sold with added electrolytes.

Recognizing that traditional spirits tend to be harsh on the palate, Lytos' mission is to bring consumers a spirit that is easy to drink, enjoyable, while providing a drink for those needing a distilled spirit alternative.

"At the start of 2019, I broke ground with a mission to make a product that was enjoyable, fun, and easy to drink; something to enjoy for a day on the beach, relaxing in the backyard, on the golf course or just chatting with friends," Fanshawe said.

Lytos is distilled from domestically sourced-farm fresh corn, making it gluten-free. It is then infused with salt, potassium, and phosphorus, the compounds of electrolytes found in sophisticated sports drinks but without the added sugars.

Fanshawe, who grew up in Severna Park, is a Howard County resident and Towson University graduate. Some of the first bars to purchase Lytos are in the Severna Park, Annapolis, Pasadena, Elkridge, Ellicott City, South Baltimore and Towson where Fanshawe spent time cold-calling local establishments.

"I really want to thank all of the customers that have made this growth possible, specifically, the people who've helped support us from the start in Pasadena, Severna Park, Elkridge, Annapolis, Towson, South Baltimore and Ellicott City," Fanshawe said.
