Smirnoff Vodka Ads Get Political

Smirnoff’s new advertisement under its new “Made in America” banner features a Moscow Mule cocktail with text that reads, “But we’d be happy to talk about our ties to Russia under oath,” an apparent nod to the president’s recent comments following fired FBI Director James Comey’s congressional testimony.

 

Interestingly, according to CBS News President Trump does not drink alcoholic beverages.

A Smirnoff U.S. spokesperson told CBS News in a statement, “Smirnoff has been made in America for more than eight decades. The recent interest in American-made products created the perfect opportunity to reinforce that fact and the brand’s roots in Russia — with a wink and nod to current affairs.”
