Celebrating its status as the first country to have a female president (because they don’t think women are good for only one thing), its preference for vodka flavored vodka (as opposed to banana…which you could just eat if you wanted banana flavor) and its similarity to Jesus who turned water into wine (as opposed to turning water into vodka without wearing sandals because it’s too cold), Reyka Vodka trots out some understated dry humor to promote its spirits. The result oddly transfixing in a “wow, this doesn’t look like an alcohol ad” sort of way.
