SVEDKA VODKA TOASTS A NEW ERA WITH THE $700 BILLION MARTINI
A presidential cocktail for an economy on the rocks
In celebration of the most historic inauguration ever, SVEDKA Vodka, Voted #1 Vodka of 2033, is unveiling the $700 Billion Martini, the perfect icebreaker for President Obama to serve when CEOs unexpectedly “drop by” looking for a bailout. This cocktail is the latest addition to SVEDKA’s roster of election-themed drinks which were all introduced as part of the SVEDKA JOIN THE PARTY marketing campaign, which launched on Super Tuesday and has included a yearlong invitation to Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to put the “party” back in party politics. The $700 Billion Martini will be served at bars across the country over the next few weeks, including establishments in the following cities: Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Boston and Washington DC.
In Washington DC: Capital City and Pour House
In San Francisco: Cigar Bar and Kells
In San Diego: East Village Tavern and McGregor’s Grill & Ale House
In Chicago: Seven Ten (which is in Hyde Park, Obama’s old stomping ground!),People Lounge
· Bars in Chicago will also feature Polite in Public photo booths
In New York: Le Poisson Rouge – Starting at 7:30pm on January 20th (inauguration day), the bar will feature $5 SVEDKA cocktails, as well as free samples of their wildly popular election themed cocktails while supplies last (including the Cosmopolitician, The Dirty Delegate and the $700 Billion Martini).
