Alcohol Advertising Gets Edgier, Just Plain Weirder

Luxury cachaça brand Cabana has kicked off a new ad campaign, shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti, that seems more than anything to be a nod to Brazil’s $100 million adult-film industry. It puts Terry Richardson’s Belvedere ads to shame and is about as unsafe for work as mixing batidas de coco at your cubicle. Personally, however, we’re much more impressed with Absolut for commissioning out-there comedians Tim & Eric and Zach Galifianakis to do a movie, the second part of which hit the Internet last week. The send-up of friends boozing on the beach is “absolut hilarity.” There's a certain, um, ribald moment, but outright nudity, thankfully, is minimal.

Gimmicky Drink Names Reach New Nadir With the ‘Striketini’

We get pitches for preposterously named cocktails all the time, but this???

Just a quick note to let you know about a new signature cocktail being served up at the W Times Square to help tourists (and weary picketers) cope with the Broadway Strike. Available at the hotel’s Living Room Lounge and Whiskey Bar, it is made with bourbon, Grand Marnier and white cranberry juice and is dark in color as a result of the dark lights on Broadway.

This is ridiculous enough to make us pound a Gisele, made with CABANA CACHACA and being served at D’Or (are you happy Nike Communications — we finally got an excuse to mention it!).
