Description
Full color 7 1/2″ x 10 3/4″ ad for Smirnoff Vodka and this one tells you how to make The Adam’s Apple. The picture shows that it’s evening and the man is home from work and he and his wife are sitting and relaxing on the couch in the living room. The man has taken his coat off and is sitting down while his wife is relaxing at his side and is talking to him about something, well, I don’t know. The ad begins with the name “The Adam’s Apple (permission to disregard previous instructions)”. Then it says that “A while back we introduced a nice, simple drink called the Adams’s Apple. Apparently our Adam’s Apple was too simple. People couldn’t resist the temptation to complicate it. That’s O.K. with us. One guy made it a short drink so there’d be room in his tall glass for apple slices and cinnamon sticks. We’ve heard of people adding cloves, nutmeg, lemon juice, even crushed mint. Is there no end to this madness? We certainly hope not. To make a basic Adam’s Apple, pour an ounce or so of Smirnoff in an ice-filled glass (tall or short). Add apple juice or apple cider”.
