Description
Full color 10″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for the variety of Heublein Cocktails. There are two pictures at the top of the ad, both starring Alan King of television and writing fame, as well as an unidentified woman. In the left picture, Alan is sitting in a chair with the woman with her head in her hands behind him and she, I think, is saying “What this country needs is a good 25 cent Martini”. In the right hand picture, Alan is pouring from a bottle of Heublein and the woman has thrown her arm up and is saying, “It’s here! It’s Heublein“. The ad tells is that “All the gin is in it. Nothing to add but ice. Enjoy these Heublein Cocktails at home. They taste better than plain liquor, cost less and are just as easy to serve. Manhattans, Daiquiris, Whiskey or Vodka Sours. Eleven kinds in all. Just pour on-the-rocks. Heublein Cocktails“. It mentions the eleven different kinds: Extra Dry Martinis, Vodka Sours, Scotch Sours, Old Fashioneds, Side Cars, Stingers, Manhattans, Vodka Martinis, Daiquiris, Whiskey Sours, Gin Sours.
