The last weekend in May is usually considered the unofficial start of the summer season. But this year, it sure doesn’t feel like summer.
If you're fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you can get a free drink at several restaurants in Connecticut through the #CTDrinksOnUs program through Monday night.
Participating restaurants will offer one free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink to customers who show their vaccine card anytime before the end of the night May 31.
You will have to make a food purchase and each restaurant will determine which drinks are "on them."
In order to get a free drink, residents must show their vaccination card at particular restaurants across Connecticut. The #CTDrinksOnUs campaign will take place from May 19 to 31.
