Everything Vintage: 5 Decades of Booze

Vintage Friday

It's almost the weekend! Here are a few vintage beer and spirits ads to get you in the "mood" :)

Smirnoff Vodka
Apparently they weren't very adventurous back then with their vodka cocktails - they only advertised screwdrivers!

Budweiser
(Pre hot babes in bikinis! Funny how the adds are more "wholesome" and geared towards couples and families in the earlier years and then clearly turn into "boy's club" ads in the 60's - definite sign of the times.)

Randoms I just liked:

1956 Bacardi Rum

This guy is scary looking! LOL It was obviously before they realized beauty sells booze!

1955 Beer Brewer ads

I love these - I wish I was there with them!

1951 Piper Heidsieck Champagne

Circus in a bottle!

1950 Black and White Scotch

This one is really sweet

1942 Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer

1937 Seagram's Crown Whiskey

I just found this funny and bizarre...

What do you think about these vintage ads? What cocktail are you looking forward to enjoying this weekend?

Happy Vintage Friday! Have a great weekend!
