Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that warns you, “Don’t take the first oasis that comes along”. There is a large picture in this ad taken in Egypt in the midst of the desert. The nearest thing is a simple glass with ice and a lime placed into what is probably a drink. You can see several things in this glass, things that have been reflected from beyond. There is a camel, resting in a kneeling position, and two pyramids and they are all shown backwards of the way in which they are facing. A statement that takes little thought is “The brightest spot in the summer desert is Smirnoff Vodka and Tonic“. They insist that you make it the same way that you would make a Gin and Tonic, just use Smirnoff Vodka.
