Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 12″ ad for Smirnoff Vodka. The ad has a photo of the actress in a blue dress sitting on a stack of crates of oranges while her husband, Collier Young, stands behind her. The headline offers the opinion that “Orange Juice is delicious…even without Smirnoff“ but the text reasons that “Like sunshine and laughter – like moonlight and music – Smirnoff Vodka and orange juice go perfectly together”. It then reminds us of the existence of the drink known as the Screwdriver and claims that this has been “one of the Smirnoff drinks that changed the drinking habits of America!“. It follows this claim with a quick reminder on how to make a Screwdriver and, speaking of Smirnoff, says that “It leaves you breathless”.
