Description
Full color 7 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad with the King of Late-Night Television that talks about another way to enjoy Smirnoff Vodka. The ad has a picture of Johnny wearing a dark business suit sitting in a throne of dark wood as the snow falls and accumulates on the entire scene. Johnny has his one leg crossed and is holding a glass that we have to assume is filled with a Smirnoff Blizzard. Lying next to Johnny is his sidekick for this party, a Saint Bernard, who lies in the snow with a bottle of Smirnoff Vodka and a bottle of Fresca, waiting for his cue to laugh uproariously. The headline claims that “Smirnoff makes the Blizzard howl” and the text gives the proper directions and ingredients to make this refreshing drink. It does warn though that “unless you insist on Smirnoff your Blizzard could fizzle into just another summer downpour”.
